Topics will be delivered by lectures, exercises, discussion and laboratory demonstration sessions.
This short course will cover topics including:
- Introduction to chemical sensors
- Electronic nose concepts
- Sampling of breath
- Applications of breath analysis
- Data analysis of sensor arrays
- External validation methods
- Medical aspects of breath analysis
- SniffPhone project last advances
- Demonstration of the SniffPhone prototype

Who should attend?
The Short Course is ideal for anyone with an interest in chemical sensors and olfaction, its application to breath analysis, and is new to the field; for example, PhD students, researchers, technologists and industrialists. Short Courses organized by ISOCS are a unique combination of fundamental theory lectures and practical application exercises. They provide an introduction into selected topics of current research and new developments in the area of chemical sensing and olfaction. In this edition, you will have the unique opportunity to attend to the last developments in the European project Sniff Phone that aims at detecting lung diseases using a chemical sensor array.
The Short Course is residential and the programme allows plenty of scope for networking with lecturers and attendees. Lectures take place in the morning, with the afternoon free for participants to network, consolidate their knowledge, or enjoy the outdoors. We encourage people to ski in the afternoon and we have amongst us, the organisers, some keen skiers. Discussion sessions and labs resume in the early evening before evening dinner.
