Announcement of the Call
for expression of interest to attend the 2nd TwiNSol-CECs Summer School
It is a pleasure for the TwiNSol-CECs team from the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technology Novi Sad, to announce and host the 2nd TwiNSol-CECs Summer School on Innovative Technologies for Water Treatment: Removal of Micropollutants with Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Focus (hereafter the School) that will be held at Faculty of Technology Novi Sad (TFNS) 8-12 June 2024.
Main topics of the School are:
- Membrane Technologies
- Biosorption Technologies
- Advanced Oxidation Processes.
There are also parallel topics important for creation of international research projects and multidisciplinary research teams on the latest challenges in front of the transition towards a toxic free environment:
- Preparation and implementation of the Horizon Europe project
- Life Cycle Assessment: the most inclusive method to analyze environmental benefits and trade-offs resulting from complex systems
The Program of the School, consisting of 5 days of theoretical and practical sessions, is available here.
The lectures will be delivered by TwiNSol-CECs researchers from the NOVA University, NOVA School of Science and Technology, and TFNS, while laboratory support will be given by the TFNS researchers. The official language is English.
TwiNSol-CECs Summer School is open to PhD students and early-stage researchers not just from TFNS, but also from University of Novi Sad (UNS), other higher education and research institutions from Serbia, as well as from WB countries, in order to accomplish positive impact on rising institutional, national, and regional excellence in the field of innovative technologies for CECs’ removal. Additionally, in a very limited number, schools’ attendees may also be senior researchers and professionals working in companies engaged in the environmental protection.
Due to constrains in available premises during the School, limited number of trainees will be possible to attend the practical exercises and be included in the social activities, so the applications (consisted of motivation letters and the achievements presented in the CVs in the field of interest for 2nd Summer School) sent to the Organizing Committee in accordance to the conditions of the Call for expression of interest to attend the School will be evaluated by the Committee for Summer School Grant Approval (hereafter the Committee) as explained here.
The Committee will select among the candidates with timely submitted and complete applications up to 5 grantholders from Serbia (whose place of residence is more than 80 km from Novi Sad), and 5 from Western Balkan region in accordance to the Call conditions. Description of the Grant and the conditions of its usage is given in the Call.
Additionally, 3 best ranked applicants from TFNS and/or UNS will be also selected to participate in the School.
For the limited number of trainees that are going to be selected by the Committee all the sessions of the School are open, including the School practical sessions and the social activities, while only theoretical lectures (but not practical and societal sessions, including coffee and lunch breaks) will be opened for the TFNS/UNS researchers without the applications.
