DESCRIPTION:Educators: CRA-W team\n\nDate: 16 - 20 March 2026\n\nLocation: 
 Gembloux\, Belgium\n\nContents:\n\nParticipants will become familiar with 
 the vibrational spectroscopic technology and statistical concepts used in 
 Chemometric applications.\nMost attention will be given to the ideas under
 lying 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 t
 echniques. Most of the examples will be related to application in the food
  and feed sectors\, but the scope is broader.\nNIR\, MIR and Raman techniq
 ues include the use of classical benchtop instrumentation as well as more 
 advanced systems\,as systems combined with microscopy and Hyperspectral Im
 aging\, or the most recent handheld devices.\nChemometrics methods include
  exploratory tools such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA)\, calibratio
 n based methods as Partial Least Squares (PLS) and discriminant techniques
  such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) among others as well as the figures
  of merit within the quantitative/qualitative calibration model\, topics r
 elated to advanced pre-processing\, calibration transfer and how to valida
 te/judge model quality.\n\nLearning goals:\nThe goal of the course is to t
 each participants about NearInfrared (NIR)\, Mid-Infrared (MIR) and Raman 
 technologies and how to perform basic multivariate analysis/Chemometrics.\
 n\nPrerequisites:\nKnowledge of basic concepts of mathematics (in particul
 ar linear algebra) and statistics is required. Some notions of analytical 
 chemistry and multivariate statistics are a plus.\n\nKeywords: vibrational
  spectroscopic method\, NIR\, MIR\, Raman\, NIR microscopy\, hyperspectral
  Imaging\, fluorescence\; advanced Chemometric methods\n\nTools:\nThe cour
 se material will be made available in form of a USBkey containing all the 
 slides and datasets used as examples during the training.
