> International Summer School in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Organised by CPE Lyon from June 11th to July 13th 2012.

The CPE Lyon part of the IPL International Summer School includes a 5-week programme of practical classes in chemistry and/or chemical engineering (40 hours) in addition to taking the French language classes (36 hours) and the industrial and cultural visits.
The practical classes are designed to allow students from the United States and Canada to transfer credits for the study to their home university. The practical work programme is flexible. Experiments are offered in Chemical Engineering, Analytical Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. Some experiments will be open-ended allowing students to go deeper into the particular aspect of the subject concerned. A programme oriented towards chemistry students and a programme oriented towards chemical engineering students is provided. All students will have free access to the Internet. Accommodation is provided for the five weeks of the Summer School.

The total cost to students is 1700 Euros. This covers all tuition costs, the costs of the industrial and cultural visits, and accommodation for the five weeks in a residence hall. The cost of meals and local transport is not included (but students will have access to the dining halls with meal plans).

This is a tremendous opportunity to gain an international experience, to improve your scientific knowledge and practical skills, and to learn the French language. Only a very basic prior knowledge of French is necessary. The practical classes will be given in English when necessary, and, for the language study, students will be divided into groups depending on their ability. A class for beginners will be available. The laboratory experiments offered are given on the following pages. Any students interested in this course are invited to contact Maria-Angelina Beaucourt (maria-angelina.beaucourt@cpe.fr) if further information is required.

Applications should be made using the IPL International Summer School form which is found on the website : http://www.ipl.fr/summerschool/

The content of this course for each individual student will be adapted to their particular requirements (requirements of their home institution, their previous experience, or their own wishes). This can be negotiated on an individual basis after the application has been received.

Please respect the deadline (15 March) for applications if possible.

Later applications will be considered but a place cannot be guaranteed.
