The Invitation

It is our privilege and pleasure to invite you and your colleagues to attend
The International Summer School
FOOD SAFETY AND HEALTHY LIVING
which will be held ONLINE, during July 5-8, 2020.

The summer school will bring together Romanian and foreign universities and leading representatives from international and national scientific research, as well as scientific and professional organizations.

The priority of this summer school is the education of undergraduate and postgraduate students (master and PhD) using pedagogical strategies for teaching/learning/evaluation in the field of food safety in order to have a healthy living.

Didactical materials and teaching methodologies will be usefully also for educational staff or learners, increasing the cooperation between institutions/organizations.

The Aims and Objectives

The priority of this summer school is the education of undergraduate and postgraduate students (master and PhD) using pedagogical strategies for teaching/learning/evaluation in the field of food safety in order to have a healthy living.

Other focuses of the summer school will be

  • To promote (tele)monitoring using classic and modern methods as demand for lifelong learning initiatives for the fields of life sciences, teaching undergraduate/master/PhD students from partner institutions
  • To organise a Summer School in 2020 in Romania (and in other partner universities in the following years), involving students and teachers from partner institutions
  • To identify ways to have joint theses and PhD coordination between the partner institutions
  • To have contribution to the dissemination of the products and activities, using all the ways involving also other interested academic or non-academic media

Didactical materials and teaching methodologies will be usefully also for educational staff or learners, increasing the cooperation between institutions/organizations.
