On analytical science, metrology and accreditation (10th Edition)
9-22 July 2017, Druskininkai (Lithuania)

As a PhD student, you fully realise that good science requires good data. Data which you obtain from measurements, e.g. in chemical and bio-analysis. Reliable measurements are measurements obtained under proper quality assurance practices. Though many are taught analytical techniques in their science or engineering education, your courses rarely address the knowledge and skills required in the context of quality assurance. This is exactly the focus of this school. There is an international standard (ISO/IEC-17025) which explains the basics of such quality assurance.
This summer school, which lasts two weeks, will teach you all about this. Mind you, not in a boring way just by giving some lectures. We limit the number of lectures to a minimum and instead apply interactive and problem based learning. A very important part of this is an “analytical game” where people carry out a real analysis for a customer. We have a real laboratory set up for this at the venue.
