  1. Summer schools The way how to develop international cooperation (experience of Euroleague for Life Sciences) ICA Regional Network for Central and South Eastern Europe (CASEE) BOKU Vienna (20-21 May 2010) Michal Lošťák, CULS Prague

  2. Why Summer Schools • The most simplest form of joint programmes (ECTS) with the potential to build networks for future sophisticated cooperation (example BOKU-CULS-WULS) • Very efficient (short) and flexible (easy to tailor to the needs of the students) • International milieu of teachers and students (different cultures) + international feedback to the students and teachers (first steps towards international science for the students) • Additional form of education (however: problem of the time in summer) • Supports short term mobility • Social networking • Easy enrollment • IP Erasmus (wetlandwater management summer school)

  3. Benefits of summer schools: • Lectures for students (shorter) • Presentations of students papers about their degree thesis (reactions of students and teachers) • Individual works of the students • Use of university labs and facilities • Practical training (solving real problems) + field trips • Presenting the findings to the stakeholders • Cultural experience
