Thanks to the sponsorship of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), Professor Douglas Rutledge, director of the analytical chemistry laboratory at AgroParisTech (France) came to the Faculty on a teaching mission from April 3 to April 9, 2008. During this visit, he met with teachers-researchers and students preparing their MS theses in the Department of Chemistry and Life Sciences in order to follow up on their work.

On April 4, Professor Rutledge gave a lecture titled: “l'analyse du produit externe – OPA. Etude des relations entre des séries de variables mesurées pour les mêmes échantillons.”
