Leipzig and KUBUS

EDA-EMERGE Summer School


Course Description:

The EDA-EMERGE Summer School took place from the 25-29 June, 2012 at the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. The Summer School brought together experts in effect directed analysis and chemical structure elucidation to bio-diagnostic tools and water management. Together with PhD fellows, scientists, invited speakers from major regulatory bodies, water industries and European research centers, an intensive and interactive programme with lectures, workshops and case studies was tailored to the themes covered within EDA-EMERGE. The multi-disciplinary content covered the fields of analytical chemistry, eco-toxicology, biochemistry, environmental science and water management.

The summer school programme consisted of lectures, a poster session, a hands-on chemical structure elucidation workshop, laboratory tours and project meetings. The academic programme was supplemented with an excursion to the regenerated and rehabilitated Mulder river valley area in the German state of Saxony together with evening social activities such as a common dinner, daily common lunch and tea breaks and city tour, which afforded the participants more intensive one on one discussions with presenters, co-supervisors and EDA-EMERGE scientists.
