Invitation

Do you know what High-Throughput methods can do for you?

This Summer School introduces High-Throughput methods to you in a creative and stimulating atmosphere.

Nowadays, there is a high degree of acceptance of High-Throughput Technologies for discovery, development and optimisation of materials and catalysts in the process industries. Through the years a relative synchronous development of technologies for parallelized synthesis and characterization was accompanied by developments of associated software and information technologies.

Nevertheless, High-Throughput Technologies are not yet used as standard tools in academia and are not adequately presented, neither in research nor in teaching.

This Summer School aims to close this gap. It is aimed at students, graduate students and post-docs, who have not yet worked with these methods, but are interested in finding out about their potential.

Taught by experienced researchers from industrial and academic backgrounds, this Summer School offers a unique insight into the subject. The School will cover the basic principles of High-Throughput methods and applies them to problems in different fields of chemistry. The Summer School will go beyond theoretical teaching and will offer the opportunity to try out recent experiments, especially developed for teaching purposes in university laboratories, to demonstrate the use and advantages of these methods.

The Summer School will take place at the Schullandheim Oberthal, an idyllic place in the Saarland, Germany. Accommodation will be provided in dormitories (4-8 people).

The total number of participants is limited to 45. Please register until 16 June 2008.
