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.
