The 19th Czech - Slovak Spectroscopis Conference (19th CSSC) 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 this tradition in the form national Slovak and Czech spectroscopic conferences now, since 2008, exist as a joint event.The Czech spectroscopic conference was repeated every four years, while the Slovak spectroscopic conference took place biannually. Joint scientific meetings are now held every two years, alternating between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The order may change if this conference is combined with the European Symposium on Analytical Spectrometry (ESAS). To maintain the tradition of the original separate national conferences, the conferences held in the Czech Republic retain their original serial numbering, and the same applies to the conferences held in Slovakia.<h3>Registration</h3><blockquote>👉<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cssc2026.spektroskopie.cz/registration_online">Online registration form</a></blockquote><h4>Registration Fees</h4><h5>Early (before June 15, 2026)</h5><ul><li>Participant (Member of IMMSS and SSS): 10 000 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Participant (Non-member of IMMSS and SSS): 14 000 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Students: 7 000 CZK&nbsp;</li><li>1-day registration: 5 000 CZK</li><li>Accompanying person*: 5 000 CZK</li></ul><h5>Regular (after June 15, 2026)</h5><ul><li>Participant (Member of IMMSS and SSS): 13 000 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Participant (Non-member of IMMSS and SSS): 18 200 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Students: 9 100 CZK&nbsp;</li><li>1-day registration: 6 500 CZK</li><li>Accompanying person*: 6 500 CZK</li></ul>* The accompanying person does not have access to the scientific programmeThe conference fee is calculated with VAT and includes:<ul><li>attendance to lectures and poster session</li><li>book of abstracts (electronic version)</li><li>booklet</li><li>lunches, refreshments (coffee/tea breaks)</li><li>excursion</li><li>attendance at Welcome Party and Gala Dinner.&nbsp;</li></ul>For an accompanying person, the conference fee includes the Welcome Party, the excursion and the Conference Dinner.

<h4>The problem&nbsp;</h4>We live in a “global village” but we are all different and we use many different languages to communicate.&nbsp;Even when people speak the same language, the same words may be used with different meanings. See, for example, some different uses of the word “standard” in English – a normative document, a solution of known concentration or even a type of flag.&nbsp;Even in the same area of activity misunderstandings do occur which may result in a waste of time and money, or even worse consequences.&nbsp;When talking about laboratory tests, lack of a full understanding of key terms and inappropriate translations leaves room for different interpretations of stated requirements. For example, there have historically been a number of different but related uses of the term ‘detection limit’. This may lead to inadequate fulfilment of those requirements, thus becoming an obstacle to the production of analytical data that is fit for its intended use. A shared interpretation of concepts related to quality in measurement between laboratories and accreditation bodies is also crucial for a fair and harmonised approach to laboratory assessment across the world.&nbsp;<h4>A common language&nbsp;</h4>We need a common language; clear and unambiguous. We need a common vocabulary to provide consistent definitions of concepts with their associated terms. To this end, several organisations participate in a joint effort to develop and maintain an international vocabulary of metrology (VIM) [1], which aims to achieve a unique understanding of concepts related to measurements across all sectors. The VIM is a normative reference in the standards ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 15189 and ISO/IEC 17043, and is therefore a key document for all organisations seeking accreditation.&nbsp;<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_Standards_8d947dbd5f.jpg" alt="Eurachem: You talk, we understand – The way out of the tower of Babel_A common language" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_Standards_8d947dbd5f.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1126" height="499"><h4>Is this enough?&nbsp;</h4>For laboratory staff some problems still stand and need to be addressed:&nbsp;<ul><li>Many people are confused about both concepts and terms.&nbsp;</li><li>It may be difficult to understand the “formal” VIM definitions – they are short statements intended to apply to many different measurement sectors.</li><li>Translations into local languages may add to the confusion, e.g. if different terms are used in different sectors for the same VIM concept and the translator overlooks this issue.</li><li>Some substantial changes to terminology have been made in an attempt to accommodate chemical and biological measurements. Some “old” concepts still stand but have new names, e.g. “within laboratory reproducibility” vs. “intermediate precision”.&nbsp;</li></ul>To address these issues Eurachem has produced a guide [2] which provides an accessible reference containing simple and in context explanations of terms most relevant to analysts, with additional examples relating those concepts to chemical and biological measurements.&nbsp;<h4>Do you understand the meaning of these terms?&nbsp;</h4>Are you interested in a quantity or a quality? Depending on the answer, will you use a measurement procedure or an examination? Is method verification the same or less demanding than method validation? Do you need a calibration or just performance verification? Do you have a measurement standard in your laboratory? Is metrological traceability something you worry about? These are examples of the terms supporting the reliability of any measurement result that need to be clearly understood.&nbsp;<h5>Example – Accuracy, trueness, precision: are they synonyms?&nbsp;</h5><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_accuracy_231e1e005e.jpg" alt="Eurachem: You talk, we understand – The way out of the tower of Babel_Example – Accuracy, trueness, precision" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_accuracy_231e1e005e.jpg 146w," sizes="100vw" width="754" height="807"><ul><li>Closeness between measurement results (relating to the concept of precision)</li><li>Closeness of the average of the measurement results to a reference value (relating to the concept of trueness)&nbsp;</li><li>Closeness of an individual measurement result to the true value (relating to the concept of accuracy)&nbsp;</li></ul>The different situations in the figure show the effect of:&nbsp;<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;"><li>poor precision and trueness (imprecise and biased)&nbsp;</li><li>good precision, poor trueness (precise but biased)&nbsp;</li><li>poor precision, good trueness (imprecise but unbiased)&nbsp;</li><li>good precision and trueness (precise and unbiased)&nbsp;</li></ol>Improving both precision and trueness is expected to improve accuracy.&nbsp;<h4>Is all this relevant to you?&nbsp;</h4>Do you work in a laboratory, either as an analyst, quality manager or director? Are you involved in other activities related to analytical work, such as providing proficiency tests, producing reference materials or accrediting any such activity? Do you teach or study subjects related to measurements? Do you use measurement results or prescribe how to use them? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, the following reference documents are also for you.

Thermal Analysis of Inorganic Materials

Discover Key Techniques for Characterizing This Diverse Group of Materials

Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) is used to measure the dimensional changes, or deformation, of a sample as it is heated or cooled and subjected to a defined stress or load. It determines expansion, shrinking, and softening behavior on materials such as films, laminates, solids, and fibers. The technique is also very useful for measuring relaxation effects that are often not detected by DSC.The TMA TechniqueIn a typical TMA experiment, the sample is placed on the sample support and a constant load is applied via a measuring probe. The probe remains in contact with the sample and moves up or down as the sample expands or contracts with a change in temperature. The displacement of the probe is measured by means of a sensor. The sample set-up and applied load vary depending on the measurement mode and the information required.Thermal expansion or shrinkage, as well as the deformation or stiffness of the material, can be determined based on the set-up and measured displacement. Typical properties of interest determined by TMA are the glass transition, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and Young’s modulus.TMA is a versatile technique that can be used to study a wide range of materials, including polymers, composites, ceramics, metals, and biomaterials. It is commonly used in material research, quality control, and failure analysis applications.Join our live webinar to learn all about TMA and don’t miss the opportunity to ask our experts your questions!Event Program<ul><li>Basic principles of TMA</li><li>Important instrument components</li><li>Measurement modes (dilatometry, penetration, tension, swelling, dynamic load, bending)</li><li>Why you should use TMA for your analysis</li><li>Application examples for different industries</li></ul><blockquote>Presenter: Nicolas FedelichWith a background in chemical engineering, Nicolas joined METTLER TOLEDO in 2009 as an application specialist for Thermal Analysis.

This, in turn, has resulted in an increase in environmental pollution. The desire to reduce this pollution, together with a desire to reduce the consumption of fossil hydrocarbons, has created a need to recycle polymer waste and return it to the economy as a raw material.To achieve this goal, polymers need to be correctly identified and characterized. Suitable recycling processes must also be developed. Thermal analysis techniques are an ideal way to help accomplish these goals due to their suitability for analyzing polymer materials.<h5>Polymer Recycling Pathways and Thermal Analysis Techniques</h5>In this webinar, we look at the different recycling pathways available and how thermal analysis techniques, such as DSC and TGA, can be used to improve the quality of the end product. We will also take a closer look at evolved gas analysis (EGA) techniques. EGA is an excellent tool for identifying polymer blends by analyzing the comparative levels of gases that are produced on decomposition.We will particularly focus on mechanical and chemical recycling, and provide a wide range of applications that can be adapted for you own use.Join our live webinar to learn all about thermal analysis in the field of polymer recycling.

Knowing the temperature at which this transformation occurs is critical for understanding a material’s properties and behavior and how it can be used.Thermal analysis offers several ways to determine the glass transition temperature (Tg): differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).Join our webinar to discover the effectiveness of these techniques using a variety of application examples. Why is knowledge of the glass transition so important?The glass transition provides information about the molecular properties of a material as it is heated or cooled within a certain range. It defines the upper temperature limit for the use of solid amorphous materials, and the lower temperature limit for rubbery materials. It can also provide information about the degree of cure.Knowing the glass transition is important for optimizing production parameters and material properties. In addition, the Tg can be used to identify and compare materials and is therefore important in quality control and in failure analysis.Join the webinar to expand your knowledge and improve your understanding of this critical property.
