Developing talent in analytical science
COAST connects talented students with leading experts from academia, industry and research institutes. Our talent programmes combine academic learning with practical experience, professional skills and early access to a strong network in analytical science.
Students gain experience beyond their regular curriculum through courses, company visits, research activities, internships and networking. At the same time, organisations meet and help develop the next generation of analytical scientists.
ASTP
The Analytical Sciences Talent Program (ASTP) is a three year honours programme for talented and motivated students at Universities of Applied Sciences.
Alongside their regular studies, students receive additional education in analytical science, visit companies and research institutes, work on practical challenges and gain experience in leading laboratories.
ASTP brings students into contact with industry and research from an early stage and helps them build knowledge, skills and a professional network.
ATLAS
ATLAS is a two year honours programme for talented MSc students with an interest in analytical science and technology.
The programme brings students together with academic researchers and industrial experts through advanced courses, summer schools, company visits, conferences and networking activities.
ATLAS combines scientific development with professional skills and connects young talent to the wider analytical science community.
From applied sciences to academic research, COAST creates a continuous talent pathway and connects the next generation of analytical scientists with the people, knowledge and organisations shaping the field.
Lifelong Learning
Analytical science keeps moving. New technologies, data driven approaches and changing industrial and societal needs require professionals to continue developing throughout their careers.
COAST brings together expertise from academia and industry to provide education around real analytical challenges. Courses combine scientific knowledge with practical applications, case studies and interaction with experts from across the COAST community.
Topics range from analytical chemistry throughout pharmaceutical R&D to measurement strategies for circular materials, including areas such as quality control, bioanalysis, spectroscopy, chemometrics, machine learning, material characterization and Digital Product Passports. Our courses bring students and professionals together. This creates opportunities to learn new methods, understand developments outside your own field and build connections with experts facing similar challenges.
From knowledge to application
COAST education focuses on more than learning about a technique. Participants explore when to measure, what to measure and how analytical information supports better decisions.
By connecting analytical science with real cases from industry and society, COAST helps translate new knowledge into practical skills and measurable impact.
