2009 INFORMATION

You are cordially invited to participate in the Munsell Color Science Laboratory Summer Short Course 2009: Essentials of Color Science. This four-day course is made up of a series of 16 distinct sessions delivered by leading experts in the topical areas. The lecture series is designed to form a coherent course that introduces the fundamental concepts of color science, describes various applications, and introduces cutting-edge research areas in color science. Participants will find value in each individual lecture as well as the combined experience of the entire program.

Instructors will be available for informal discussions during the breaks, lunch, and at the end of each day. There will also be one evening reception with an open house, tours of the MCSL facilities, and opportunities to interact with the lab's faculty, staff, and students.


Experience Color Science Up-Close
The course will consist of four days of lectures and demonstrations together with plenty of open time to interact informally with the MCSL faculty and staff. Each day is made up of four lecture/demonstrations according to the following schedule:

Mornings
8:30 - 10:15 Lecture/Demos
