20th European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry 2025

You are cordially invited to the 2025 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry to be held in Berlin, Germany, from March 2 to 7, 2025.

In 2025, we will celebrate the 20th edition/event of this well-established series of successful meetings. This conference brings together plasma spectrochemists from all over the world to exchange and discuss the most recent scientific results and developments in Plasma Spectrochemistry and stimulates contacts between academia and industry. The conference program covers all topics concerning analytical plasma spectrochemistry and related mass and emission spectrometric technique such as ICP-MS, GD-MS, ICP-AES, DCP-AES, MIP-AES, LIBS or LAMIS. There will be numerous outstanding plenary, keynote and heritage lectures, as well as a series of special sessions and technical short courses.

Do not hesitate to join the 20th EWCPS in Berlin full of outstanding science and networking, but also of good food, fun, and music.
