5th AMACEE conference

The AMACEE conference is an event for professionals in analytical chemistry and other related analytical techniques, offering a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. This symposium promises to be a dynamic gathering of experts, with distinguished speakers from Japan, China, and other leading research centers worldwide. The conference has a strong following and tradition in Japan and China, where the previous years were held.

AMACEE emphasizes the latest advances in analytical techniques, focusing on spectroscopic methods. The topics covered at the conference include various analytical applications in energy, fundamentals, chemometrics, imaging, and environmental studies. The sessions will also extend into niche areas like Japanese and Chinese advancements in Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), offering a unique insight into regional innovations.  Additionally, industrial and space applications are highlighted, reflecting the broad relevance of analytical techniques across sectors.

The conference will also include opportunities for students to present their research and engage with international experts. A poster session will also be held, allowing participants to showcase their research and foster in-depth discussions.

Beyond the scientific sessions, our carefully curated social program will offer a chance to explore the historic city of Brno and network with colleagues.
