Lecture 1
Basic Vacuum Technology: A Short Course (instructor: Prof. Kazuhiko Mase, KEK)
is designed for those who have not studied vacuum technology professionally and aims to provide them with minimum necessary knowledge of vacuum technology, including basics of vacuum technology, vacuum pumps, vacuum gauges, vacuum materials, vacuum equipment, and safety.

Lecture 2
Properties of Small Molecules: Bridging Surface Science and Vacuum Technology(instructor: Prof. Katsuyuki Fukutani, The University of Tokyo)
is designed for scientists, engineers, and students who would like to know the basic concepts of molecule interaction with surfaces and the behavior of small molecules at surfaces such as hydrogen, oxygen, water among others. Understanding the interaction of molecules with surfaces is of fundamental importance for molecular processes at surfaces and vacuum technology.
