Training Initiative: 22-26 June 2020 is CANCELLED
The Central Analytical Facilities (CAF) at Stellenbosch University is in a unique position to provide high quality, hands-on training on the use and functioning of a range of high-end analytical equipment not readily available at all universities in South Africa.
Applications are CLOSED
The training is aimed at providing participants with
exposure to equipment to reinforce theoretical principles and
develop the necessary practical skills.
In most cases data interpretation will also be covered.
The training is aimed at
Places are limited as most workshops can only accommodate 7-10 participants due to space constraints in the laboratories for hands-on exposure to equipment. Preference will be given to applicants who can motivate that their participation will directly benefit their own research or the research of others. A maximum of 2 workshops will be allowed per participant, provided that these do not clash. Certificates of participation will be issued at the end of the workshop.
