Training week Autumn 2026 :

HANDS-ON METABOLOMICS: FROM BENCH TO DATA
23-27 november 2026 (Duration : 4.5 days)

OBJECTIVES : 
  • Want to integrate metabolomics into your research or analytical projects, but don’t know where to start?
  • Whether your focus is on agrosciences, nutrition, human health, environmental science, biotechnology, or animal health, this training designedby MetaboHUB is for you!
  • The knowledge acquired during the training will be assessed throughout the session by means of practical exercises or round-table discussions. 
FEES : 
  • 2050 € for academics
  • 2900 € for industrials
Teaching materials and lunches included.
A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the training course.
