Courses
Courses are designed to teach and therefore usually offer topical material in a historical context with substantial amounts of introductory information. Typically, courses have a syllabus driven format.
Meetings
Meetings may include workshop components and are designed as a forum for the presentation of topical material with a high degree of current interest. Meetings often, if not always, involve the presentation of unpublished scientific materials.
Workshops
Workshops are characterized by a relatively small didactic component with substantial hands-on laboratory time. Attendees come primarily to gain hands-on practical training in procedures and applications.
