AUC - Schola ludus & Summer School

SCHOLA LUDUS is an international summer school for university students and graduates from technical studies and natural sciences. The aim of Schola Ludus is to introduce field of Physical Biology and Biotechnology to students who are interested in postrgradual PhD. study at the Institute of Physical Biology University of South Bohemia. Project leaders are internationaly well known scientists from the Czech republic

In the year 2007, Schola Ludus project was cofinanced by European social fund and budget of the Czech republic (project CZ.04.1.03/3.2.15.2/0360) "European social fund (abbreviation ESF) helps to the development of employment and its support, bussiness background, equal opportunities and investment in human resources."

Schola Ludus participants will actively work on announced scientifical projects according to their own choice. Solving scientifical project, students will increase their scientifical skills and they will find out how work in a small scientifical group is.

Except interesting scientifical work students can follow interesting non-scientifical program as well. See the program of Schola Ludus.

For example:
Excursions to the laboratories and work places of University of South Bohemia, Biological center of Academy of Science (Ceske Budejovice city), Planetarium, Hydrometeorological Institue, Institute of Parasitology ASCR and, of course, laboratories of Academy and university center in Nove Hrady - for students from 3rd countries as well
Excursions to the laboratories and work places of Fachhochschule Krems (Austria) and Johannes Kepler University in Linz (Austria) - unfortunately not for students from 3rd countries (because of visa duty), Excursion to Ramsauwelt Schrems Unter Wasser Reich, Blockheide Gmünd
