From the 27th to 29th of March, 16 participants from 10 countries
(Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Italy, Sweden, Turkey,
Romania, United Kingdom) attended the EU COST Action Training School
"Basics of Adhesion Science" at the University of Kiel. The training
school was organized and conducted by the department of Functional
Morphology and Biomechanics of the Zoological Institute (Prof. Stanislav
Gorb, Dr. Petra Ditsche-Kuru). Beside trainers from Prof. Gorb’s group
(Henrik Peisker, Dr. Alexander Kovalev, Esther Appel), three external
trainers were invited: Dr. Philippe Leclere from the University of Mons
(Belgium), Prof. Alexander Filippov from the Institute of Physics and
Engineering (Donezk, Ukraine) and Dr. Christoph Eberl from the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (Germany). The participants from such diverse
fields as physics, chemistry, biology and material sciences, were
introduced in a variety of microscopical techniques and mechanical testing
methods related to studies of adhesive phenomena in biology and
engineering.
