READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

Attendance to these courses will give you credits that will help you obtain the EELISA Supplement. If you want these courses to be also accepted as credits for your school year, you need to proceed as-is:

  • Apply for the course at the host institution
  • Get an acceptance letter from the person in charge of the course
  • Show the acceptance letter to the dean of studies (international affairs) of your home institution
  • Get approval from your dean of studies
  • Get a certificate of attendance and validation of the course at the host institution at the end of the course (after examination, if this applies)
  • Transmit the certificate to the dean of studies at your home institution.

Please, note that the dates for some of the courses are based on those from the academic year 2020-2021. For the latest update on each course date, please request more information from the contact person. For a larger list of courses, you are advised to contact the international affairs office of your institution.

inGENEious DNA – Can we really de-extinct a dinosaur?

WHAT

DNA-molecules store the information necessary to build and sustain living organisms, they are the molecules of heredity and provide the molecular basis for the evolution of species. The molecular structure of DNA and its physicochemical properties are wonderfully suited to accomplish these functions. Insofar DNA is an inGENEious molecule worthwhile to study and understand.

In this series of online exercises “inGENEious DNA” we will highlight some aspects of DNA and its properties which are relevant to our everyday life. In each course we will tell you a fascinating DNA-story and we will provide you with the DNA-basics necessary to understand and discuss this story.

In part two of “inGENEious DNA” : “Can we really de-extinct a dinosaur?” we will continue with a topic at the crossroads of science and fiction as known from the Jurassic-Park movie. This movie can be considered a part of our cultural heritage, and we will try to, scientifically sound, answer the question whether we will ever be able to make this fiction come true.

In part one of this series “Can DNA solve our data storage crisis” we will start with a rather technological discussion concerning the intersection between computer technology and molecular biology. To this end we will delve into the basic principles of information storage in both worlds.

Innovation and Leadership

WHAT

Creating a sustainable innovative environment is a leadership task. In order to succeed at this task, leaders must develop innovative abilities to deal with the challenges inherent in a business environment characterized by fluid, unstructured and changing information. The aim of this course is thereby twofold. First, the course delineates and describes different yet emerging innovation tools, organizing them into a coherent set of classes. Each class of tools is described using a set of up-to-date business cases that depict the current status of the information systems. The second aim of this course is to get an overview of how to structure leadership systems towards innovation, how leaders can motivate to foster innovative thinking and what new forms of innovation (e.g. open innovation) mean for the definition of leadership. In doing so, this lecture represents an Idea Transformation Class as students are encouraged not only to merely develop, but to actively deploy specifically developed concepts.

Inorganic chemistry: from molecules to materials

WHAT

The objective of this course is to give the rules of construction of all inorganic and mineral systems but also to show how much this inorganic chemistry is alive and has many applications in current problems (energy, environment, information storage, nanotechnologies…). An introduction to the industrial mineral chemistry industry completes the course (cements, glasses, aquatic chemistry, batteries). The theoretical part focuses on transition metal and lanthanide complexes and describes in particular their optical and magnetic properties.

inorganic materials elaboration

WHAT

This course presents the fundamentals of materials elaboration. A first part presents the basics of monocristalline synthesis, starting from reflexion based on phase diagrams, nucleation-growth concepts and illustrations with various hot-temperature monocristalline routes. Such routes are predominant in the optic and photovoltaic domains. A second part deals with the physical and chemical principles underlying the solid-state densification and sintering of powders to obtain technical ceramics. Technical ceramics are a wide family of high-value materials for structural or functional applications (magnetic, optic, dielectric…). On the other hand, glass and glass-ceramics are materials prepared from the liquid state. Their elaboration is briefly presented at the end of this part. . The third part concerns the synthesis of small inorganic materials by low temperature routes. Basics of aqueous precipitation, sol-gel condensation, high-boiling solvent synthesis are thoroughly described, followed by the presentation of different methods for a chemist concerning the specific elaboration of thin or thick films.
