nano-IR Workshop: Guided Application on your Sample*
Munich (Haar) | October 14-15, 2025
We are thrilled to invite you to our nano-IR workshop, dedicated to soft materials and surface science. This event organized by attocube allows you to explore applications of nano-IR technologies (nano-FTIR, AFM-IR, and Infrared s-SNOM) for your particular research interest. The event will feature technology tutorials and scientific presentations, followed by live demonstrations that offer insights into the measurement workflow.
*Important note: Test measurements on your own samples are available immediately after the main workshop (limited slots available, pre-booking is mandatory).
Be part of open discussions to stimulate collaborations and boost your publications and grant success.
Event Highlights:
- Keynote Talks: Guided tutorials from renowned experts in nanoscale IR spectroscopy
- Live Demo: One-to-one demonstrations on your own samples
- Software Tutorials: Hands-on training sessions for nano-IR data analysis
- Poster & Networking Sessions: Opportunities to present and connect with your pears
Event Details:
- Venue: NanoFactory, Haar, Germany
- Registration Deadline: September 28, 2025
- Registration Fees: 200€ (includes tea/coffee, lunch on all workshop days, and a workshop dinner)
