Programme
The program will include sessions on the following topics as well as series of practical exercises and a participant posters session:
Astrophysical context

- protoplanetary disks, exoplanet atmospheres, comets: Inga Kamp
- observational techniques (infrared, radio, other): Maryvonne Gerin
Chemical processes in space
- gas phase reactions: Javier Goicoechea
- grain surface processes: Thanja Lamberts
- mesoscopic astrochemistry (PAHs, fullerenes, etc) : Alessandra Candian
Laboratory techniques

- surface physics/reactions: Sergio Ioppolo
- spectroscopy (gas and solid phase): Sandra Brünken & Sergio Ioppolo
Numerical models and theory

Exercise sessions (1 hour per day)
- observational, e.g. archival Spitzer/JWST/ALMA spectrum plot + basic interpretation: Emma Postolec
- computational, e.g. DFT model / spectral simulation of PAH / fullerene species: Aditya Arabhavi
- spectroscopic, e.g. rotation diagram / line ID / LTE model CASSIS / MADCUBA:
Beyond lectures
