Regional intensive courses/workshops for the students organized in the SOE countries
One central focus of the project is the annually organised intensive course with lectures held by academic staff of all involved institutions. The teaching of courses not only serves the joint training of students but also intensifies cooperation between the participating institutions. Since 2009, the courses are accompanied by poster sessions or oral presentations given by students.

2006

From 27 to 31 March 2006 an intensive course took place at the Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Macedonia. The main topics were materials science, catalysis and theoretical aspects in catalysis. 20 master students and 10 lecturers attended, of which four were from Germany and Romania. After the intensive course, the annual conference of the DAAD took place in Ohrid (Macedonia). The project coordinator Prof. Dr. Evamarie Hey-Hawkins and representatives of the Institute of Chemistry of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje presented the project to the DAAD.

Subsequently to the intensive course, the Romanian and German lecturers and students participated in the "VIIth Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry of Students of Macedonia" >> Programm flyer as pdf

A second intensive course was organised at the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania from 23 to 24 November 2007 (participants: 21 master students and 8 lecturers). >> Programm flyer as pdf

2008

The intensive course "From Molecules to Functionalised Materials" was organised at the Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje from 1 to 5 October 2008. The program was focused on materials science, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and theoretical aspects thereof. >> Programm flyer as pdf

2009

The lectures of the intensive course "From Molecules to Functionalised Materials" were held at the Babes-Bolyai University from 12 to 17 October 2009 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. In addition to the lectures and seminars, the programme included a poster session where the participating students presented their previous and future scientific work. This was an excellent opportunity for the students to exchange ideas and receive suggestions from experienced senior scientists. >> Programm flyer as pdf

2010

The lectures of the intensive course "From Molecules to Functionalised Materials" were held at the Babes-Bolyai University from 13 to 17 October 2010 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. As an invited guest lecturer, Prof. Dr. Robert Bruce King of the University of Georgia, Athens, United States contributed the lecture "The Metallurgist's Periodic Table".

Parallel to the annual SOE workshop a kick-off meeting was held in March 2011 at the Institute of Chemistry of the Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, with the main focus on the future development of the project, especially in view of the involvement and integration of the new partners.

2012

The first joint master module "Sensors" was carried out in combination with the workshop "From molecules to functionalised materials" for graduates in 2012 in Skopje, Macedonia. The professors gave lectures within the module, while the master and doctoral students held oral presentations and presented posters during the workshop. The special lectures within the module were held by lecturers from Leipzig (Prof. Dr. Evamarie Hey-Hawkins), Skopje (Prof. Dr. Valentin Mirceski), Stip (Prof. Dr. Rubin Gulaboski), Nis (Prof. Dr. Blaga Radovanovic), Prishtina (Prof. Dr. Fetah Podvorica) and from Cluj-Napoca (Prof. Dr. Catalin Popescu).
