General information:

Every year, Winter School (WS) is held in the second half of January (duration: approximately 1 week). EACH programme Winter School usually takes place in one of the four countries: Estonia, Sweden, Finland or France. It includes (1) short courses on novel and timely topics of analytical chemistry and metrology in chemistry delivered by external scholars, including individual/group work by students; (2) presentations by second-year students on the progress of their master theses and their life at the second-year university; (3) teamwork on solving analytical problems, and (4) discussions and interviews for selecting 1st year students to study-tracks. All consortium students participate in the WS.
