The Coatings Research Institute (CRI) at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), a  developer of scientific knowledge for understanding and expanding the science and technology of polymers, coatings, paints, inks, adhesives and related nano-based materials, has developed a series of instructional courses on polymers and coatings.

Each of CRI’s Polymers and Coatings courses take place virtually – with the exception of Color Technology, which will be held in-person at EMU’s campus in Ypsilanti, Mich. – over multiple weekdays. The courses cover a variety of finishing-related topics, including the basics of paints and coatings, coating formulations, waterborne coatings, as well as the fundamentals of resins and polymers. Each course costs $1,125 per attendee and registration is currently open.

According to CRI, thousands of industry professionals have benefited from the research offered through its courses. The organization’s instructors are said to consistently receive top evaluation scores for their expertise, experience and teaching effectiveness.
