Poster contributions can be put up from the first day of the conference. The Symposium is preceded by the two days introductory school “Introduction to chemometrics”. The participants of the school will learn about the basic tools of multivariate data analysis like multivariate calibration and classification. All participants will receive Russian version of Camo's book “Multivariate Data Analysis in Practice”, written by Kim Esbensen in short translation. The school language is Russian.

Parallel the one day preconference classes “Chemometrics in Excel”, “Support Vector Machines” and “Introduction to Hyperspectral Chemical Imaging” will be given before the Symposium on Sunday, February 14. The courses language is English.

All courses will be conducted from 10:00 till 18:00 at St. Petersburg State Technological University of Plant Polymers, Ivan Chernykh str., 4 St. Petersburg.
