Dynamic Surface Phenomena, Colloids & Interfaces Course + Workshop

About the course:

World-Academies, the Knowledge Management Startup for Remote Training and Research (RTR) collaborations, based at the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, is going to organize this online course for all engineering, fundamental, biomedical, and environmental fields, starting from basic physicochemical concepts and interfacial transport phenomena to measurements and characterization techniques at equilibrium and dynamic conditions, for nano-biotechnology, petrochemical, material and energy multiphase processes and biomedical applications. The course will be presented by experienced lecturers and group leaders with background from Max Planck Institute for Colloids & Interfaces, TU-Dresden, TU-Darmstadt, and TU-Berlin, within 13 lecture sessions x 60 min (Mondays & Wednesdays 16:00-17:00, Berlin Time Zone) + Research Education Workshop Day (4 hours) on “Special Topics in Colloids and Interfaces, Current and Future Trends and Innovations”, 18th December).
