ECTS credits
Transfer of ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System):
The European Summer School for Scientometrics (esss) is entitled to award 3 ECTS points for participation.
ECTS points will be awarded to participants compliant with the following requirements:
BEFORE the course:
- active participation in prior webinars (dates are announced in due time). Alternatively, participants can access the recorded sessions.
- pre-reading of suggested material to an extent of approximately 15 hours (reading list is provided by e-mail)
Overall preparation time prior to the summer school has to comprise 20 hours.
DURING the course:
- active participation in all lectures and hands-on sessions
- a presentation focusing on the results obtained at the hands-on sessions due on the last day.
The final versions are to be sent by e-mail to office@scientometrics-school.eu within two weeks after the end of the course at the latest.
The University of Vienna will then issue official ECTS-certificates for all compliant participants.
For further questions please contact our office: office@scientometrics-school.eu.
As president of the ISSI (International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics) I highly welcome the esss initiative. The advantages and opportunities arising from collaboration and participation by members of several leading European institutes are manifold. Surely, students and workers in the field will benefit greatly, not only from the contents of the courses themselves but also by participating in a network of interested parties.
I wish all involved a successful partnership.
