Unlike other courses, the goal is not to give comprehensive coverage of the adhesion field, but rather to use the Adhesion Society’s Annual Meeting to assemble an outstanding group of instructors that would not otherwise be available in a single course. Each subject is presented by a scientist who is a world leader in that area. This gives the attendees the opportunity to learn from and interact with scientists whose expertise provides a unique view into the history, science, and relevance of their topic.

Past Attendee Comments “Fantastic course.” “Very interesting course.” “The short course was really interesting and I learned a lot.” “It was a great course.” “I very much appreciated the efforts of all of the instuctors.” “Very good course. I learned a lot. Very enjoyable.” “It was definitely worth coming all the way from [European country].” “Very good course overall. Very useful.”
