SSJMM: ESAS (European Symposium on Analytical Spectrometry)

<h4><strong>European Symposium on Analytical Spectrometry (ESAS) and the 17th Czech-Slovak Spectroscopic Conference (CSSC)</strong></h4>
<p>is the international joint scientific meeting to share recent developments, exchange ideas, explore new directions and initiate a possible collaboration in the analytical spectrometry area. Leading scientists and researchers will be invited to present their most up-to-date results at this conference, to exchange exciting ideas and experiences as well as look into future development. The aim of <strong>this joint meeting</strong> is to bring together experts from universities, academia, official centers, various laboratories, and industry on a world-wide scale, to summarize the current progress in various areas of spectroscopy and the trends in the applications such as chemical, environmental, geological, biological, food, pharmaceutical and industrial materials and to stimulate contacts and mutual exchange of experiences and ideas.</p>
<p>In the last few years, atomic spectrometry methods have become part of complex analytical tools that go beyond the traditional concept of elemental analysis. This trend has been triggered in recent decades by speciation analysis, based on a combination of separation methods and spectrometric detection systems. It is now becoming common to combine several spectrometric and microscopic methods for imaging purposes such as multimodal imaging. Thus, it is practically impossible to develop, apply and describe one method in isolation, without reference to other information of molecular spectrometry methods, be it mass spectrometry, fluorescence microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and others. From this point of view, it still makes no sense to define the spectroscopic conference as a symposium of atomic spectrometry. That is why we changed <strong>the European Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry to the European Symposium on Analytical Spectrometry</strong> this year. The organizers believe that the ESAS conceived in this way is both compatible with the Czech-Slovak Spectroscopic Conference and will expand the possibilities of participation of spectroscopists who deal with both atomic and molecular spectrometry methods and their combination.</p>

<h4><strong>History and Tradition</strong></h4>
<p><strong>European Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry (ESAS)</strong> was launched in September 2008 in Weimar, Germany, by merging two important scientific events with a long tradition in the field of atomic spectrometry, namely:</p>
<ul>
<li>the International Solid Sampling Colloquium (ISSC, since 2004 renamed as Solid Sampling Colloquium with Atomic Spectrometry - SSC), and</li>
<li>the European Furnace Symposium (EFS)</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/BAM_ESAS_and_CANAS_2018_c8f600d0a3/BAM-ESAS-and-CANAS-2018.webp" alt="BAM: ESAS &amp; CANAS 2018"/></p>
<p><strong>The ISSC</strong> was established in 1984 in Wetzlar, Germany, and continued as a biennial event in Europe. The EFS originated in September 1994 in Warsaw, Poland, as the East European Furnace Symposium and since then it has taken place every two years as The European Furnace Symposium together with the ISSC:</p>
<p><strong>The 17th Czech - Slovak Spectroscopic Conference (17th CSSC)</strong> is a proceeding based on a long-term scientific cooperation between Ioannes Marcus Marci Spectroscopic Society and The Slovak Spectroscopic Society. The meetings organized by the former Czechoslovak spectroscopic society (1949 – 1993) in the past and the continuation in the tradition of the national Slovak and Czech spectroscopic conferences now, since 2008, exist as a joint event.</p>

<h3><strong>History of analytica</strong></h3>
<p>In 1968, a manned space capsule circled the moon for the first time, Germany introduced value added tax, and young people all over the world revolted against the prevailing circumstances. The analytics sector was also on the verge of a new era: in April of 1968, the analytica celebrated its premiere in Munich, back then it was still called “ANALYTICA—International Trade Exhibition for biochemical analyses”.</p>
<p>Analytica has been supporting the development of chemical analytics and bioanalytics for 50 years. And more: It stimulates the transfer of technology and expertise, as it brings together equipment manufacturers and laboratory analysts, scientists and users. Analytica has thus been driving the progress of analytics for half a century by now.</p>
<p>One look back shows how fundamentally the industry has changed since 1968: When the first analytica took place, many laboratory devices still had analogue displays. There were no computers for automatic data collection, no high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and no coupling of gas chromatographs with mass spectrometers yet. Bioanalysts were not able to sequence genes yet. But many ideas were buzzing around. Undoubtedly, the industry needed a meeting place to exchange, to drive new developments, and to keep abreast of the latest developments. Thus, the very premiere of analytica in April 1968 was already a complete success.</p>
<h4><strong>The milestones of analytica’s history</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>1968:</strong> The analytica celebrates its premiere with 90 exhibitors on a gross area of 5,000 square metres and 4,000 visitors from 17 countries. The accompanying conference “Biochemical Analysis” welcomes more than 800 industry visitors.</li>
<li><strong>1972:</strong> Already at the third analytica, all figures of the first event have more than doubled: more than 9,400 visitors flock the analytica in Munich on a gross area of 9,000 square metres.</li>
<li><strong>1976:</strong> The analytica has meanwhile established itself as the lead international trade fair. 13,308 visitors from 21 countries can learn all about the industry innovations on nearly 21,000 square metres of exhibition space.</li>
<li><strong>1992:</strong> A premiere at the analytica Munich: the first special show on an area of 182 square metres.</li>
<li><strong>1998:</strong> The analytica relocates to the new exhibition grounds in München-Riem.</li>
<li><strong>2002:</strong> For the first time, more than 1,000 exhibitors attend the exhibition.<br/>With the analytica China the trade fair takes the first step onto one of the most important analytical markets of the world.</li>
<li><strong>2003:</strong> The industry ventures into another important growth market with the analytica Anacon India.</li>
<li><strong>2009:</strong> analytica Munich and IMAG GmbH host the first analytica Vietnam in Hanoi.2012<br/>Live presentations in fully equipped Live Labs are held for the first time and become an outstanding success at the analytica in Munich.</li>
<li><strong>2014:</strong> The international exhibition network of the analytica continues to grow: the analytica Anacon India takes over the India Lab Expo.</li>
<li><strong>2016:</strong> The leading international trade fair for laboratory technology, analytics and biotechnology breaks all records: 1,244 exhibitors, 37 percent of which from abroad, present their innovations and future trends on the exhibition grounds in Munich.</li>
<li><strong>2017:</strong> The analytica cluster continues its path of expansion: this time with the Lab Africa, which will take place for the first time under the auspices of the analytica cluster in 2019.</li>
<li><strong>2018:</strong> The analytica 2018 paves the way for digitization in the laboratory industry: the new Forum Digital Transformation offers panel discussions, live demonstrations and sessions to become fit for the smart lab.</li>
