This module addressed doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge or experience in scattering theory and experiments. It introduced the basic theoretical and technical concepts of applications of x-ray small angle and wide angle scattering in polymer science.
During the first day of the two-day program the necessary theoretical knowledge were communicated in a series of lectures accompanied by discussions of selected applications and problems. The program of the 2nd day consisted of hands-on experiments and demonstrations in the lab followed by a tutorial in which the acquired knowledge was used for the analysis of the measured data.

This module addressed doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge in NMR spectroscopy. It introduced the basic theoretical and technical concepts necessary for an understanding of data/spectrum acquisition in pulsed NMR and the information content, and focused on a few specific experimental techniques to study dynamics in polymer and biopolymer systems.
Each day of the two-day program started with a series of lectures in the morning, followed by hands-on experiments on low-field NMR spectrometers, and demonstrations on high-field spectrometers, during the afternoon.
