  1. Student’s Expectations from Bologna Process STEPS by EUPEN Group 5 Liviu BÎLTEANU IAPS President Elect

  2. Outline • What is IAPS ? • What is ICPS ? • IAPS gives feed-back: Physics Students’ Expectation from Bologna Process • Joint Efforst • IAPS and EUPEN

  3. What is IAPS ? International Association for Physics Students www.iaps.info • 1986/88 – Birth of IAPS in Hungary: Run entirely by Physics Students • National Committees, Local Committees, Individual members • Europe, North America, Africa, Australia

  4. IAPS Aims • To encourage Physics stdents in their academic and professional work in an international context. • To promote peaceful relations among physics students arround the world. • To introduce Physics Students to the international community, help them to build professional relations and foster a collaborative attitude among young physicists arround the world.

  5. Members Macedonia Netherlands (Univ. Groningen) Nigeria (Univ. Illorin) Norway (Univ. Oslo) Poland (Gdansk, Krakow, Poznan, Torun) Portugal (Univ. Coimbra) Romania (Bucharest, Craiova, Cluj) Serbia (Univ. Novi Sad) Turkey (Middle East TU) UK&Rep. Ireland (Nexux-UCL) United States (Society of Physics Students) Austria (TU Graz) Australia (Univ.

Dir. of Communication: Laura Pickard (UK – Univ. of Bristol) 9. Dir. of Activity: David Visontai (HUNGARY – Univ. Eotvos Lorand) 10. jIAPS Editor: Cary Pint (USA – University of Northern Iowa)

  8. What is ICPS? International Conference for Physics Students • mid-August and lasts one week • Fee =130 € including accomodation, meals, conference materials, excursion. • Attended by 300 – 400 students (graduates and undergraduates). • 21st Edition of ICPS, Bucharest, Romania (14th – 20th August).

  9. ICPS Activities • Students’ lectures lasting 20 – 25 minutes; • Poster sessions; • Guest lectures; • Excursions to places of scientific, cultural or historical interest; • City Tour • IAPS General Meeting and Weokshops • Football Tournament • Parties: Welcome, Farewell, Costume and National Party

  10. IAPS and EU • IAPS is funded (sometimes),, by EU • IAPS is supported by EPS • IAPS has a level and a potential of representativity in Europe • IAPS is an interface between Academic Stuff, Central Administration and Students

  11. Statistics • 289 participants (350 students participated to ICPS) + ICPS Organising Committee (18) • Participating Countries: Austria (22), Croatia (50), Denmark (5), Estonia (4), Finland (18, France (2), Germany (5), Greece (11) Hungary (4), Ireland (4), Italy (24), Lithuania (21), Norway (13), Poland (19), Portugal (10), Romania (18), Russia (3), Serbia (24), Turkey (14), Ukraine (7), UK (7) )

  12. Main problems when students start University Studies 1.different approach in Mathematics teaching. 2.different application of Math knowledge in Physics. 3.new approach about Physics teaching. 4.the distant attitude of some of the academic stuff. 5.difficulties in scheduling the needed speed of learning.

  13. Joint Efforts • Pilot Forum in Romania – premise for simiar events in Europe. • Bologna Process Information • Students’ View about Bologna Process • Spreading Questionnaire of the Group 5 to our IAPS - LC/NC • More feed-back i.e. PhD Programs • Stopping flow to other parts of the world

  14. EUPEN and IAPS (Conclusion) • Helping IAPS to get in touch with Physics Students from the EUPEN Members Department • Advising IAPS in the relation with European Comissio • Collaborating with IAPS for better communication with students
