Postgraduate
Course in Polymer Science
Since
1996, the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry of the Academy
of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague, Czech Republic,
has been organizing the annual Postgraduate Course in Polymer
Science under the auspices of UNESCO and IUPAC. The course
is intended primarily for young graduates from countries with
limited facilities for research who have a M.S. or Ph.D. degree
in polymer science or a related discipline. The Course lasts
10 months and comprises about 50 hours of lectures in modern
polymer science, and a few hours of the basics of chemical
English and principles of macromolecular nomenclature according
to IUPAC recommendations. Most of the time is devoted to work
on topical research projects under the supervision of senior
scientists. The participants use all modern experimental facilities
of the institute. The results of their work are published
in international technical journals and presented at technical
meetings.
