Split Workshop in Atmospheric Physics and Oceanography May 22 - 28, 2011 Split,Croatia

                      



Third Split Workshop on Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics

The most prominent and prestigious international scientists will teach 13 best students from the region as well as their international colleagues in the vigorous areas of atmospheric and oceanographic science. The topics combine the fundamental knowledge as well as specific issues of modern research. Through innovative lecturing techniques and close interaction with professors, the students will be exposed to the ideas not heard in their regular education.
The students will have the opportunity to establish international scientific collaborations. The first workshop was a great success and we will use all the experince gained through it to make this one even better.
The workshop is on the graduate level. The workshop language is English. The attendees that successfully finish the workshop will be accredited for 5 ECTS points.
The students will participate in discussions and hold independent seminars on the work done prior to coming to the workshop and defined by the lecturer/mentor. For applications and questions please contact:Zeljka Fuchs Timetable:PDF
