EACH 2023 Winter School Started!
On Jan 31, 2023, the eighth Winter School of the Excellence in Analytical Chemistry (EACH) programme started in Lyon (France). Altogether 30 students from 16 countries participate (Group photo above).
This year’s Winter school is strongly focused on building analytical instrument prototypes (pH meter, simple photometer) using the Arduino prototyping platform (photo on the right).
Traditionally an important activity in the Winter school is selecting first year students to study tracks. In order to give one more piece of information what the study tracks are about, there was a session of presentations on the first day by second year students on their master thesis topics (on the left, Åbo Akademi students explaining the life and studies in Turku/Åbo). In the evening there were additional discussions between first- and second-year students and professors over the dinner.
And of course, the Winter School is the place where the 2nd students meet again their course mates who have chosen different study tracks (on the right, 1st and 2nd year students from the Philippines).
