Assistant lecturer of the Department of General Chemistry
Within the framework of the Erasmus + K1 international credit mobility program coordinated by the ANAU Department of International Relations, the Faculty of Chemistry at Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, Greece, to participate in a training course.
Prior to the training itself, I had a meeting with Christina Paschou, Aristotle University’s International Relations Manager. Then I visited the Polymer Chemistry and Technology laboratory at the Faculty of Chemistry, headed by Professor Dimitrios Bikiaris. In one of the classrooms of the Faculty of Chemistry, I made a presentation of my country and ANAU, emphasizing the cooperation between Armenia and Greece in economic, scientific and military fields.
I was asked different questions of political, scientific and social character.
Then, Professor Bikiaris introduced the staff of the laboratory and their activities.
I was impressed with the modern equipment in the laboratory, which is critical for efficient research. I also noticed that everyone was busy with individual work. In addition to locals, researchers and post-graduate students from different countries are working in the laboratory. I also visited laboratories of food chemistry, analytical chemistry and ecological chemistry. The training laboratory was especially impressive, equipped with appropriate equipment and material base.
I was also impressed with the numerous students working in the university’s library/reading room.
The training week was full of experiences, professional discussions and, of course, acquaintances.
Erasmus International Mobility is an excellent motivational impetus for the exchange of knowledge, experience, as well as the opportunity of meeting people from different cultures. The program enables participants to discover the particular country, its historical and cultural values and the society.
