QUEEN'S 25 - EPS INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL
Programme Summary:
Society is facing significant challenges, including emerging infectious diseases, drug resistance, energy depletion, and environmental issues. Our summer school program aims to address these global concerns through the application of frontier technologies in chemistry and chemical engineering.
Participants will engage in a variety of activities, including:
- Seminars by Academics: Leading experts will share insights on innovative solutions to these pressing issues.
- Practical Labs: Hands-on experiments will allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
- Computational Workshops: Participants will explore cutting-edge computational methods for modelling and analysing complex systems.
- VR Labs: Virtual reality experiences will provide immersive learning opportunities, simulating various challenges and solutions in an engaging format.
Join us to discover how to leverage chemistry and chemical engineering to tackle some of the most critical challenges of our time!
Learning Outcomes:
- Gain knowledge of sensors in disease diagnosis, next generation of antibiotics, and computer-aided molecular engineering and AI accelerated rational design.
- Gain insights of design, preparation of functional materials and their applications in sustainable development such as renewable energy, energy storage, CO2 capture/conversion.
- Gain critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork skills from group-based workshops/mini-projects
- Enhance scientific reporting skills
