2nd #PhD Summer School in Open Science happened la

2nd #PhD Summer School in Open Science happened last week at the @universidadcatolicavalencia . Here are testimonials of our PhD students:

👩 Henrika
“#EUCONEXUS PhD Summer School was a really great opportunity to learn more about open science publications: how to look for interdisciplinary team, how to prepare proper proposals and where to pay attention when writing articles, applying for scientific projects and patents. We got new colleagues (some of them even become friends), that will help us exchanging our findings, creating connections, support community within the future EU-CONEXUS events, conferences, research activities …”
Henrika Rugine, KU

👨Christos
“I would like to single out one day that I personally think was particularly interesting in terms of the knowledge generated and the tools we received, Wednesday. David Kane from SETU, through a quite interactive way of communication invited us to complete a shared - online archive of the digital tools - applications we use for our Ph.D. thesis ... Afterward, the floor was given to Danica Ramljak, from the World Bank, who in a direct way presented the basic steps for writing a research proposal.
During this trip, I met potential partners with whom I plan to propose and organize similar educational activities and write academic publications.”
Christos Grapas, AUA

👨Dylan
“The EU-CONEXUS PhD Summer School was a fantastic way for me to establish connections between my university and UCV. Both universities conduct very similar research, and attending the course allowed me to connect with fellow PhD students and professors who I intend to work with in the Future”
Dylan Power, SETU

👫 Students Board Meeting in @univlarochelle starting now !

The Students Board is meeting in La Rochelle Université this week to talk about their vision of our #europeanuniversity. Through workshops and brainstormings, they will reflect on various topics such as the academic offers, the equality & sustainability plans, the students life, and much more. Together, they will set their expectations and draw their vision for the future of EU-CONEXUS and its students.

As Jean-Marc Ogier, President of EU-COENXUS, & Isabella Baer-Eiselt, Executive Director of EU-CONEXUS, mentionned "You represent the 70000 students of EU-CONEXUS. Your role is key in the development of EU-CONEXUS to give students the best studying experience we can. We need you to tell us your needs: the students' needs, so we can improve accordingly."

Angeliki, with her #social and #entrepreneur winni

Angeliki, with her #social and #entrepreneur winning project 🏆 from #Greece 🇬🇷 ‘Marine Algae Polysiphonia sp. Organic Harvesting and Farming’ has done her mobility training in #Valencia 🇪🇸 las week, with the mentorship of Francisco Soriano and Jorge Juan Vicedo, teachers at the UCV

The project aims to protect the 🌱 algae Polysiphonia, very popular in the island of #Crete. The uncontrollable harvesting is threatening its populations, and it's becoming rare to find. #Marinealgae play a key role in controlling marine ecosystem. Angeliki drafted a startup where harvesting is controllable and according to EU regulations of organic products, and then processed carefully and distributed among local restaurants.

#EUCONEXUS opens up opportunities for smart urban coastal sustainability, we foster and encourage this brilliant mind to keep pursuing her goal.

🤔 What are the keys to obtain an #erasmusmundus Joint Masters scholarships?

Joint Master Programme in Marine Biotechnology has entered into the list of ERASMUS MUNDUS master’s degrees, highlighting joint training and offering funding for highly competitive scholarships.

For the next academic year, 2️⃣0️⃣ scholarships have been awarded, over more than 100 applications from around the world. Among those selected (Japan, Philippines, Brazil, etc), a student from the UCV has won the scholarship, Álvaro González Cid.

👇We have interviewed Álvaro and Jerónimo Chirivella, Director of the Joint Master in #marinebiotechnology. Check the clues they give us to get an erasmus mundus scholarship. #EUCONEXUS #europeanuniversities

🌊🌅 Oceans and seas cover more than 70% of the 🌍🌎🌏Earth's surface. Today, as we celebrate #WorldOceanDay we need to remember their vital role on life on Earth and the need to protect and sustainably use their resources. 🌱🍃

In this sense, the research project cluster “Ocean Technology Campus” (OTC) is being created by the @unirostock . 🧪🧫🔬 This future international centre for underwater technology aims to gather numerous research institutes and many partners from society and industry to reconcile ecological and economic aspects of the use of marine resources by fostering the development of innovative maritime technologies and applications. This project was recognised last year as a future cluster in the nationwide "Clusters4Future" competition organised by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). #ocean #oceanday #EUCONEXUS #EuropeanUniversities
