The Adhesion Science & Technology Short Course will take place February 15-16, 2025, prior to the society’s Annual Meeting. This course provides an introduction and overview of several important topics in the field of adhesion. Highlighting the significant contributions that surfaces, adhesive chemistry, polymer behavior, and mechanics make to measured adhesion, the course provides strategic insights for bonding success ranging from structural to soft matter adhesion. Participants leave the short course with a deeper knowledge that includes practical concepts for understanding and improving adhesion.

The course is traditionally offered in conjunction with Adhesion Society's Annual Meeting, which is taking place at the InterContinental New Orleans February 16-19, 2025. Each topic is presented by a scientist considered a world leader in that area. This allows attendees to learn from and interact with scientists whose expertise provides a unique view into the history, science, and relevance of their topic. 

The society is continuing this tradition for an in-person event held the week prior to the Annual Meeting and encourages attendees to consider attending for a great overview of key adhesion concepts. The course will include 12 lecture hours with ample question-and-answer opportunities over 1.5 short days.

Registration is required to attend the course. Learn more about registering for the course here. For additional information about the Annual Meeting is available at www.adhesionsociety.org/event-5646590.
