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 2022 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.
