Showcase

PMI offers multiple educational opportunities each year for people in many different industries. Twice a year, we host a Short Course at our headquarters in Ithaca, NY.  These Short Courses bring together PMI's experts in pore structure and characterization, as well as technical specialists from industries, research laboratories and universities, for three days of intensive lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. The material presented addresses the theory and application of methods for determining pore structure and distribution in a wide variety of materials.

Attendees learn the basics and catch up on the latest advances in porosity characterization techniques. Our Short Course schedule will include plenty of time for one-on-one discussions with PMI's technical staff. We finish each course day with an evening of dining and sightseeing in scenic Ithaca, New York.

2008 brings a new and exciting chapter to our Short Courses, as we will be hosting our first ever UK Short Course at Loughborough University, located in Leicestershire, UK. The short course is entitled "Characterization of Pore Structure of Filtration Media and Membranes", and is being coordinated with Stephen Smith of Parker Hannifin, Ltd. and Professor Richard Wakeman of Loughborough University.
