DESCRIPTION:Educators: CRA-W team\n\nDate: 29 September - 3 October 2025\n\
 nLocation: Gembloux\, Belgium\n\nContents:\nParticipants will become famil
 iar with the vibrational spectroscopic technology and statistical concepts
  used in Chemometric applications.\nMost attention will be given to the id
 eas underlying the different techniques and methods and their application 
 mainly in the agronomical sector. Theoretical considerations and equations
  will be limited to what is needed to have sufficient insight to properly 
 use the techniques. Most of the examples will be related to application in
  the food and feed sectors\, but the scope is broader.\nNIR\, MIR and Rama
 n techniques include the use of classical benchtop instrumentation as well
  as more advanced systems\,as systems combined with microscopy and Hypersp
 ectral Imaging\, or the most recent handheld devices.\nChemometrics method
 s include exploratory tools such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA)\, c
 alibration based methods as Partial Least Squares (PLS) and discriminant t
 echniques such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) among others as well as th
 e figures of merit within the quantitative/qualitative calibration model\,
  topics related to advanced pre-processing\, calibration transfer and how 
 to validate/judge model quality.\n\nLearning goals:\nThe goal of the cours
 e is to teach participants about NearInfrared (NIR)\, Mid-Infrared (MIR) a
 nd Raman technologies and how to perform basic multivariate analysis/Chemo
 metrics.\n\nPrerequisites:\nKnowledge of basic concepts of mathematics (in
  particular linear algebra) and statistics is required. Some notions of an
 alytical chemistry and multivariate statistics are a plus.\n\nKeywords: vi
 brational spectroscopic method\, NIR\, MIR\, Raman\, NIR microscopy\, hype

 nThe course material will be made available in form of a USBkey containing
  all the slides and datasets used as examples during the trainin
