Website: http://pvrg.unipg.it/laicpms2020/ Please find below some additional information: *Description* The course is based on the practical use of LA-ICP-MS, data reduction and interpretation. Applicants will be trained in the â??hands-onâ?? operation equipment, using the two LA-ICP-MS instruments available at the Petro-Volcanology Research Group (see http://pvrg.unipg.it/laicpms2020/ for further technical information). A selected number of applicants will have the opportunity to analyze their data, free of charge, in the six months following the short course. Selection will be based on the submission of a brief research proposal. The course is organized by the Petro-Volcanology Research Group at Department of Physics and Geology (University of Perugia). *Location and Dates* Department of Physics and Geology, University of Perugia, Italy - from May 13 to May 15, 2020. *Target* The workshop targets PhD students and advanced Master students, as well as Postdoctoral candidates and senior scientists. A series of lectures will be provided on the application of LA-ICP-MS in Earth Sciences. Experienced LA-ICP-MS users are also welcome. *Free access to the LA-ICP-MS analytical facility* We offer the opportunity for Ph.D. students and Early Career Scientists (Ph.D. degree obtained no longer than six years ago) to present a short (max 2 A4 pages) proposal to get free access to our LA-ICP-MS facility for a maximum of 3 days. Please note that we will cover LA-ICP-MS analytical costs but not the costs related to accommodation. *Registration (free of charge)* Participants are kindly requested to register for the workshop by sending an e-mail to Maurizio Petrelli (maurizio.petrelli@xxxxxxxx). Max number of participants is 15. *Deadline* The deadline for both registration and submission of proposals for the access to the LA-ICP-MS facility is April 1, 2020.
