Dear colleagues herewith I would like to draw your attention to the summer school:

"Chemistry and Infrared Spectroscopy of Interstellar Dust"

This summer school is organized in the context of Marie Curie ITN Network LASSIE, EU-COST network CM0805 and the Dutch Astrochemistry Network from NWO. It will take place at the Van der Valk Hotel, Cuijk, the Netherlands from 4-8 June 2012.

The school will consist of general introductory lectures which will discuss the chemistry of dust formation, the chemical role of dust in the ISM as catalytic site for molecule formation, and the spectroscopic signatures of dust and interstellar ices.

The school is open to students of all backgrounds (experimental, observational, theoretical).

More information can be found on the website:

I would be grateful if you could forward this announcement to any potentially interested student.

Kind regards,

Elisabetta
