Timetable & learning outcomes

The program will integrate, similarly to previous editions, mixed activities with theoretical courses, practical sessions, applied lectures, videos and round table sessions.

Course content will be divided into lectures on methods and instrumentation (incl. latest generation instrumentation and methods) and lectures and applied interactive sessions on case studies (incl. works of art, museum objects and archaeological / palaeontological samples).

Practical sessions will include sample preparation; analysis of peptide, lipid and saccharide fingerprints; bottom up / top down proteomics of ancient proteins; screening and quantification of lipids; mass spectrometry imaging; data processing (sequencing, biological origins, etc.); structural analysis of ancient macromolecules (proteins, lipids, sugars), etc.

Particular attention will be paid to the current questions of cultural heritage stakeholders and to the challenges ahead.

Expertise upon completion

The summer school offers a unique opportunity to develop strong knowledge in advanced mass spectrometry within a program which links analytical chemists, physicists, experts in formulation, computational modeling experts, conservators, restorers and archaeologists.

A certificate of participation will be awarded to students upon completion of the course.

Program may be subject to change.
