| ERASMUS-NICE | On 27th and 28th May 2010 the Jan Dlugosz University/Akademia im Jana Dlugosza (AJD) in Czestochowa is hosting the 1st Conference of the University Network for Innovation in Guidance (NICE). Close to 40 universities and research institutions from the EU that provide initial and further training in guidance are taking part in this ERASMUS project. The project focuses primarily on the further development of curricula, theoretical concepts, didactics as well as the exploration of new research avenues. Representatives from Higher Education institutions and professional organisations are most welcome to the public part of the conference on Thursday morning. Participation is free but you are kindly requested to register before-hand. You will find more information on the NICE project, the conference programme, registration and contacts on the following website: www.erasmusnice.ajd.czest.pl

| VISITING PROFESSOR FROM EGYPT | JDU hosts the next visiting professor. Prof. Magdy Ayoub from National Research Center in Cairo came to our university in order to give a series of lectures in English on chemistry of polymers for students of chemistry at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Prof. M. Ayoub is Head of the Department of Polymers and Pigments at NRC, which is the largest scientific centre in the Middle East.
This is the next step towards an internalization strategy for the process of education. Besides the substantial value of above mentioned classes there is also an interesting and practical experience for students and their further progress, and professional career.
In addition Prof. M. Ayoub made some presentations about history and present live in Egypt for students of different specialties, as well for students of our University of the Third Age.

| HOST LECTURE ON CHEMISTRY | On Monday, October 19th, 2009 the Institute of Chemistry and Environmental Protection hosted Prof. Nagy M. Khalifa from National Research Center, Cairo (Egypt). He presented a lecture Synthesis and Evaluation of Antitumor Activity of Novel Substituted 1,8-Naphthyridine Derivatives and Their Related Glycosides. More information (a short summary) is available at: http://ajd.czest.pl/~ichios/files/seminarium1.pdf | |
| AWARDING THE TITLE OF JDU HONORARY PROFESSOR | Prof. Annie-Claude Gaumont from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingéniueurs de Caen (ENSICAEN) in France was given the Diploma of Honorary Professor of Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa during the inauguration ceremony on October 2nd, 2009. Prof. Annie-Claude Gaumont takes position of the Director of the Laboratory for Molecular and Thio-organic Chemistry at the above mentioned school. She studied chemistry at the University of Rennes (France). In 1991 she joined the research group of Dr. J.M. Denis, graduating with her Ph.D. degree. She had postdoctoral experience as a research associate with Professor J.M. Brown at the University of Oxford (U.K.). She returned to the University of Rennes as a CNRS researcher and in 2001 moved to Caen (Normandy), where she was promoted Professor of Organic Chemistry. Her group research interests mainly focus on phosphorus and sulfur chemistry in catalysis (ligands) and synthesis (preparation of new building blocks) and development of new media for catalysis (Ionic Liquids, supported phases such as SILP). Prof. Annie-Claude Gaumont was awarded the title of Honorary Professor by the JDU Senate for her achievements in the field of scientific and didactic cooperation between both institutions, as well for her personal contribution in consolidation of relations between our universities. | |
| DOUBLE DIPLOMAS IN PHYSICS FOR JDU STUDENTS | Five students of nanophysics successfully finished their studies in frames of the bilateral agreement between JDU and Université du Main in Le Mans (France). Besides obtaining master diplomas in physics (MSc) at home university graduates will be awarding diplomas of the French Master of Physics by University of Maine.
This activity is a result of long-term and close relationships between both universities. Moreover, it is a step ahead towards internalization of higher education due to Bologna Process, also an additional chance for the future, as well guarantees the appearance in a company of European scientific-professional elites.
It is worth while to underline here participation, engagement, assistance and cooperation of academic staff of both universities during above mentioned studies, especially coordinators of the project: Dr. Małgorzata Makowska-Janusik (from Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa) and Prof. Dr. Hab. Abdel-Hadi Kassiba (from University of Maine - Le Mans).
Congratulations on common success! | |
