After careful consideration of the continuously evolving situation with COVID-19, we have made the decision to host the GCMS in Ethiopia on the 8 November 2021. The courses are very important to us, however given the latest health news and travel restrictions that delegates are experiencing we have made the difficult decision to accept applications only from Ethiopia for this course at this time.
The selection process for applicants will still be going ahead, and all delegates will be contacted and an announcement made as soon as the selection is made.
Please contact us at events@rsc.org if you have any questions.
This workshop is supported by GSK as part of our five-year partnership to enhance the capabilities of African scientists in modern analytical techniques. We will train more than 400 African scientists by the end of 2020, as well as training Local Trainers to train others, leaving a self-sustaining programme and a lasting legacy.
The Pan Africa Chemistry Network was set up by the Royal Society of Chemistry to advance the chemical sciences across Africa by building a self-sustaining science base. This expanded analytical science training programme will develop your practical analytical techniques to solve local challenges and contribute to global scientific knowledge.
Applications are invited for the above training course; we welcome applications from researchers, lecturers, technicians, MSc students and PhD students in the chemical sciences.
The training course will cover the practical aspects of Gas Chromatography, method development, quantitative analysis and spectral interpretation of GC-MS. This course has been independently verified through peer review and formally approved by Royal Society of Chemistry to be of high quality and suitable for professional development of chemical scientists.
Delegates who have attended a previous PACN GC-MS course in Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria or Ghana are not eligible to attend again. This is a repeat of the course.
Please note – we receive high number of applications for these courses. So, please take your time to consider your answers to the questions in the form, as this will be the basis for your acceptance/rejection.
Enquiries may be sent to Mrs Ellie Peters, Royal Society of Chemistry (peterse@rsc.org).
