Invitation to the European Mass Spectrometry Conference (EMSC) 2018

On behalf of the French and German mass spectrometry societies - La Société Française de Spectrométrie de Masse (SFSM) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Massenspektrometrie (DGMS) - we have the great pleasure to invite you to the European Mass Spectrometry Conference (EMSC), taking place between 11 to 15 of March 2018. The EMSC incorporates the 35th SFSM and the 51st DGMS annual mass spectrometry conferences. For the first time, the SFSM and DGMS are organizing a joint conference on mass spectrometry and its applications. This conference is open to any MS scientist worldwide, with a focus on mass spectrometrists from Europe, to attend this joint French/German initiative. We hope that other national MS societies from Europe will continue this format in the future, to foster a regular European MS exchange.

This meeting will be held from Sunday evening, 11 March, through Thursday after lunch, 15 March 2018 in Saarbrücken (Germany), which is right on the border to France. Saarbrücken is located in the heart of Europe, easily accessible from almost everywhere in Europe. There will be several short courses on Sunday before the conference officially opens on 11 March.

We will have 12 plenary lectures, 18 sessions of contributed talks, accompanied by poster presentations, and an instrument vendor exhibition in the field of mass spectrometry and its applications. This is a unique opportunity to build new or reinforce existing scientific exchanges and collaborations, and to create new links at the European and international level. The conference equally welcomes scientists from academia, government, industrial and non-profit research organizations, instrument vendors as well as the industry and the private sector, working on fundamental research, instrumentation, sample preparation, data processing and applied aspects of mass spectrometry.

We hope to see you in Saarbrücken at the EMSC 2018.

Sincerely,

Frédéric Aubriet, Vincent Carré and Dietrich Volmer, Conference Chairs

on behalf of the organizing committee

Official languages

The official languages of the EMSC 2018 are English, French and German

In order to facilitate the scientific exchanges between all participants

  • the lectures, keynotes and oral communications should be presented in English. Slides should also be written in English,
  • for poster presentations, English is strongly encouraged (even if it is possible to use French or German).
