Design of Experiments for Chemists and Engineers
(DoE)
Date: 05 March - 06 March 2024
Location: Nice, France
Tutors: Dr Paul Murray
Industrial Scientists can no longer afford to experiment in a trail-and-error manner, changing one factor at a time. A far more effective method is to apply a systematic approach to experimentation that considers all factors simultaneously.
This approach is called Design of Experiments (DoE) and many scientists use it as an efficient way to solve serious problems afflicting their projects.
DoE provides information about the interaction of factors and the way the total system works, something not obtainable through traditional testing methods. DoE also shows how interconnected factors respond over a wide range of values, without requiring the testing of all possible values directly. DoE is a fundamental aspect of Quality by Design.
The two day course written and presented by Dr Paul Murray a Process Chemist with extensive experience of applying DoE across a wide range of chemical reactions from reaction screening and new route development through to reaction optimisation.
The Course will empower Scientists to implement DoE in their work to more efficiently improve their processes.

Testimonials
Hovione Delegate
The course was very helpful to understand the DoE approach.
Société Suisse des Explosifs Delegate
Thank you very much to Paul and Laura! I have learned a lot about the theory and application of DoE, well-equilibrated course. I’ll definitely recommend it!
Online Design of Experiments Delegate
On-line course well defended. Good point to start from with DoE.
