Under the great favour of WULS Rector – Professor Alojzy Szymanski and Dean of Faculty of Economic Sciences – Professor Bogdan Klepacki, the course took place in Kiry near Zakopane in university’s training centre situated in Tatra National Park in south Poland.

There were 12 participants from all over the word studying in leading European universities like: Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Wageningen University, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences-BOKU in Vienna, Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague, University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart and Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW.

The course consisted of lectures prepared by Proffessors, presentations made by students and PhD Students and tree case studies concernig regional products in Podhale region.

Summer Schools are a great possibility for participants to present the ideas or results of their research, exchange of research information but what is more important esspecialy for young scientists, hearing helpful and constructive remarks and advices.

Let’s hope that the idea of Summer Scholl will be cultivated and more and more students will have a chance to take a part in it.
