36th MassSpec Forum Vienna 2026

We cordially invite you to our 36th Mass Spectrometry Forum 2026 focussing on all aspects of mass spectrometry, particularly methodological developments and timely applications regarding all types of molecules. This year we tightened the program to two days - workshops are again offered on wednesday morning, preparing all practical aspects of Mass Spectrometry.

Due to generous sponsoring by our vendors, we will be able to run this meeting without any registration fee keeping the meeting affordable for all people interested. Registration, however, is needed for facilitating the arrangement of the meeting.

Please find further (and continuously updated) information inside, we are very much looking forward to meet at the MassSpec-Forum Vienna.

Sincerely,
Your MassSpec Organization-Team
