Objectives and competences
Practical experience of work in the field of meteorology.
Intended learning outcomes
Understanding the activities, organizational structure, organization of the work process and workplace dynamic at the host institution.
Learning and teaching methods
Practical training under the supervision of supervisor form the hosting institution.
Assessment
Student much submit a written report, describing his activities at the hosting institution. The report must be approved and signed by the supervisor form the hosting institution.
Based on the report, the student gets a "fulfilled" or "not fulfilled" mark.
