From 5th to 17th February 2017, we organized the training in "Analytical Methods in Geology" for students of AGH University of Science and Technology from Krakow in the Centre of Education of Slovak Academy of Sciences in Banská Bystrica. AGH management has decided for this external form of education on the basis of positive experiences with our laboratories and a wide range of modern analytical methods. Overall, 24 graduated students of mineralogy, during two one-week courses, got through the intensive theoretical and practical laboratory training in isotope geochemistry, paleolimnologic field methods, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, X-ray microtomography, microthermometry and geofluids and creation of 3D digital models using terrestrial laser scanner. At the end of the stay, each student prepared the seminar paper on each of analytical method. For its preparation, the students used computers of our library and electronic access to world scientific databases. The training in particular methods was leaded by Jarmila Luptáková, Stanislava Milovská, Rastislav Milovský, Juraj Šurka, Radovan Pipík. Nataša Halašiová and Henrieta Paľová provided an accommodation and administrative management.
