Target:

Basic understanding of processes in vacuum technology

Target Group:

Participants with little or no previous knowledge of vacuum technology

Recommended Duration:

2 days

The focus of the seminar is on the practical demonstration of the knowledge imparted. The partic- ipants experience typical effects by means of practical experiments which they partly can perform themselves. The exact content of the seminar is specially adapted to the needs of the participants.
