We want to be closer to You so we set a MSC Euromaster page on facebook. See You there
A Euromaster message from Beijing!
The Euromaster MSC aims at giving youngsters the knowledge and skills to perform in the world of analytical sciences, which is a globalised world, for sure.
Céline Chong, who obtained the Euromaster MSC European Diploma Supplement in 2010, send us a report from Beijing. What an experience !
Interview with Céline Chong
Friday, July 22nd : the closing of the 4th Measurement Science in Chemistry International Summer School in Poznań (Poland)
A very intensive 11 days indeed, with 43 students from thirteen countries participating (Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, France, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine).
Students learned about quality in analytical chemistry in the context of ISO/IEC-17025. Not only the theory (traceability, uncertainty, statistics, validation, use of reference materials), but also the practice. In a role playing game, they created their own company to perform analysis and they competed amongst themselves! They found out how to interact with clients. For one day, they become an accreditation technical assessor when they visit a real laboratory (the water laboratory Aquanet in Poznań). They will go out and take their own environmental samples in the Ecology Station of Jeziory.
The students' motto is "to measure is a pleasure". And they certainly had a lot of that :)

32 Euromaster certificates have been awarded on Oct 26 at the JRC-IRMM
On Oct 26, 2010 a ceremony was held at the EC JRC-IRMM (Geel, Belgium) where the first 32 Euromaster certificates were awarded to the students of the MSC consortium. The home universities of the students are University of Tartu, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, University of Warsaw, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Adam Mickiewicz University, University of Lisbon and University of Maribor.

What is "Measurement Science in Chemistry"?
It is a master's degree program jointly delivered by a consortium of 9 universities. It is founded upon a bachelor degree in natural sciences or engineering. It offers a broad education in the field of basics of measurement science in chemistry (analytical chemistry). The academic quality of the program has been recognized by the Chemistry Euromaster quality label.
The mission of the MSC consortium is to contribute to radical improvement of the education level of analytical chemistry by being the best international provider of measurement science education in chemistry.
Detailed description of the organization of the consortium
For studying in this program, a student has to enroll into one of the universities of the consortium. At every university teaching is based on a local program of core content matching the MSC generic description (available from here) but is offered somewhat differently, corresponding to local situation. Detailed admission and studies information is available from the Admission and Studies section.
The program has evolved from the TrainMiC® training programme that was initiated and is mentored by the EC JRC IRMM.
