From July 14 to 28, 2018, our teachers and students of School of Geosciences were invited to participate the summer school of Federico II University in Naples, Italy for a two-week exchange study. The delegation was guided by MS. DONG Xiaozhen, a counselor of School of Geosciences. Ten students from different majors such as resources and surveying were involved. At the same time, more than ten students and a teacher from China University of Geosciences in Wuhan participated in this event as well.
In this event, our teachers and students have studied a series of courses about the European earth science, including Environmental Geochemistry: A Tool for Understanding the Effects of Human Activities on the Earth's Surface lectured by Professor Benedetto De Vivo, What are the volcanoes? How do they work? lectured by Professor Giuseppe Rolandi, Clouds and the Sun: How to predict the weather? lectured by Dr. Alberto Fortelli, “Geological and Historical Review of the Italian Oil and Gas Industry” lectured by Dr. Corrado Brun, as well as “Health effects of chemical pollutants” lectured by Professor Stefano Albania.

This trip to Italy not only enriched my professional theoretical knowledge, but also broadened my horizons. said by LIU Xin, a student of the resource exploration engineering project who participated in this event. This exchange learning activity provides a good opportunity for our students to go abroad and broaden their horizons. It is an important practice for our students to train towards internationalization. (By CAI Lihua, Department of Surveying and Mapping, and DONG Xiaozhen)
