The Short Course explores the area of chemical sensing of breath analysis and its applications. We have put together an exciting program that will provide attendees with both theoretical background and practical experience in the above areas.
Topics will be delivered by lectures, discussion and laboratory demonstration sessions. Participants will need to bring their own laptops, but will be supplied with sample data and evaluation software. The computing laboratories do not need a high performance computer and can be carried out on a basic laptop running the windows operating system.
The Short Course is residential and the programme allows plenty of scope for networking with lecturers and attendees. Lectures take place in the morning, with the afternoon free for participants to network, consolidate their knowledge, or enjoy the outdoors. We encourage people to ski in the afternoon and we have amongst organisers, some keen skiers. Discussion sessions and labs resume in the early evening before evening dinner.
