The School is a six day full immersion school aimed to give advanced and higher education in mass spectrometry to graduate, PhD, post-doc students and all those working in different areas of science, ranging from physics, chemistry, biosciences, food, environment, to omics sciences, medicine, interested to improve their knowledge and education in mass spectrometry.
The 1st Course, originally planned in 2020 but postponed to 2022 owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, is devoted to:
High Resolution Mass Spectrometry - Fundamentals, Advances, and Applications
The school brings together participants from academia, public and private research centres and industry, and it is a useful occasion for students and tutors from different countries to meet and create new links and network.
Lessons are given by top-level scientists.
