IOC Schroecken

Schroecken Wiki.JPG
The four-day OROBOROS O2k-Workshops in Schroecken have become world-famous. They are usually held twice a year in the idyllic Alpine village Schroecken (Vorarlberg, Austria).
OROBOROS O2k-Workshops in Schroecken provide a practical overview of the Oxygraph-2k and O2k-Fluo LED2-Module, with data analysis by DatLab and applications of the TIP2k. Hands-on experiments illustrate the principle and show the unique advantages and limitations of simultaneous monitoring of oxygen concentration, respiration, hydrogen peroxide production or mt-membrane potential. For more information on the programme, see IOC100 as an example.
The next O2k-Workshop in Schroecken will be held from 3rd to 8th October, 2017.
O2k-Workshops in Schroecken are held at Hotel Koerbersee (accommodation, meals, lectures and hands-on sessions). During lunch breaks, sufficient time is available for skiing, relaxing walks and talks, to enjoy the refreshing scenery of the alpine environment.
