Bath Impedance Short Course
Theory and Practice of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy - 15th - 18th July 2008
University of Bath

This highly popular short course provides a sound foundation in the theory and applications of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It is based on small group teaching, with a strong emphasis on practical work. A unique feature of the course is the fact that 70% of the time is spent in the laboratory using the instrumentation under the guidance of course demonstrators.

Bath Summer School/Short Course Registration forms available from the Bath web site under the heading "Bookings."
