Abstract:
The present report contains a brief description of a two month stage in Bucharest, Romania, completed
by the researcher Ana Patricia de Freitas Terceiro, from 4th of January until 28th of February 2009. The
main activity developed during the stage consisted on writing the book entitled “Environmental
monitoring of water sources” (authors: Patricia Terceiro, Rodica Ceclan, Ionel Popa, Virgil Racicovschi,
Aurelia Meghea), also included in this report.
The stage was performed on the scope of a Marie Curie Action of Transfer of Knowledge entitled
“Development of Strategic Academia-Industry Partnership in Romania for Knowledge Management in
Environmental Friendly Technologies”, aiming to support the development of long-lasting collaborations
between industry and academia via the exchange of researchers.
The Transfer of Knowledge action is coordinated by the Universitatea Politehnica din Bucuresti and
counts thirteen partners. LNEC (Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil) is the host institution of the
researcher, and the stage in Bucharest took place in both University Politehnica of Bucharest and ICPE
(Research Institute for Electrical Engineering S.A.).
This report also contains a paper and a poster produced after the end of the stage in Bucharest, both
presented at the 16th Romanian International Conference on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 9 –
