The SPECTROCAT Summer School provides a comprehensive and hands-on introduction to vibrational spectroscopies applied to catalysis and adsorption.
Morning lectures – Fundamentals and advanced aspects of vibrational spectroscopy including: theory, instrumentation, cell design, multi-technique coupling, in situ and operando methods, reactor dynamics, kinetic data collection, and data processing.
Afternoon laboratory sessions – Practical training on in situ and operando experiments using state-of-the-art IR and Raman spectroscopic equipment available at LCS (VISIO platform).
🎓 Who Should Attend
The School is open to PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, early-career & confirmed scientists, and industrial professionals interested in catalysis, spectroscopy, and materials characterisation. A background in physical chemistry or materials science is recommended, but no prior advanced IR experience is required.
