*Open registration for ADVANCED MASS SPECTROMETRY APPLIED TO CULTURAL HERITAGE by University of Bordeaux* *17th - 21st JUNE, 2019 *(registration deadline 30 May 2019) *Bordeaux, France* *BRIEF DESCRIPTION:* This summer school is an innovative and inter/multi-disciplinary training based on advanced mass spectrometry to decipher the complexity of cultural heritage material, i.e. artworks, archaeological and palaeological materials, via their organic macromolecular signatures uncoding (proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides). It offers a unique opportunity to develop strong knowledge in advanced mass spectrometry within a inter and multidisciplinary program which links analytical chemists, physicists, chemists, experts in formulation, computational modeling experts, conservators, restorers and archaeologists. This five-day course combines lectures and hands-on workshops in sample preparation, current mainstream mass spectrometry techniques and their most recent improvements, omics, and bioinformatics, all within the framework of cultural heritage. Two training levels are offered: beginner vs. advanced A certificate of participation will be awarded to students upon completion of the course. *TARGET GROUP AND REGISTRATION FEE:* The school is open to graduate students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, academics and private actors in analytical and heritage sciences. Fees: 705 euro Fees include accommodation, weekly bus pass, course materials, coffee breaks, lunch, site visits, one group dinner and social activities. Travel costs and other expenses are not included.
