2. Event in Hungary
Advanced Study Course on Optical Chemical Sensors- ASCOS 2006   (Details...)
September 3 - 9, 2006, Tihany, Hungary
ASCOS is a European initiative to establish an education, discussion and contact platform for young researchers working in the strongly growing field of optical chemical sensors, besides the traditional conferences. ASCOS is being held as a biennial event, each time in a different European country.
The idea behind ASCOS is to bring together Europe's bright young (future) scientists, coming from all imaginable fields of expertise related to optical/chemical sensors, to learn from selected tutors and from each other in a relaxed atmosphere. ASCOS covers all the different methods of optical chemical sensors and related fields and provides a platform to exchange ideas and experiences, while having a good time, thus combining all the best features of the Viennese Opt(r)ode Workshop Series and Lisa Hall's well-renowned and highly popular Cambridge Sensor Workshops.
