The COMMONS Challenges seminars foster interactive thinking and collaboration by focusing on shared principles rather than isolated details. Each seminar combines brief presentations with audience questions, small-group “beehive” sessions, and plenary discussions. Many challenges continue in focused group dialogues, aiming to spark new research projects and scientific initiatives. Ideas emerging f

Research school activitiesWithin the COMMONS research school, we plan for 1-2 PhD courses per year. To strengthen PhD educations, we strongly encourage PhD students to attend the scientific discussions during COMMONS Challenges and seminars. We also arrange COMMONS early career workshops to strengthen network among younger scientists.PhD summer school on liquid-liquid phase separationAugust 24-26

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of the composition of matter, and the methods used to examine chemical compositions. Analytical chemists use a variety of techniques and methods to identify and quantify the components of a sample, often down to trace levels. These methods can range from simple qualitative tests to highly sophisticated instrumental methods giv
