analytica conference
Since 1968, the trade fair analytica has been transforming the city of Munich every two years in spring into the central meeting place for the international laboratory technology, analytics and biotechnology sectors. analytica is the leading platform for instrumental analysis, diagnostics, measurement and testing technology, as well as quality control, and has always been more than just an equipment exhibition. From the very beginning, a scientific conference has been held in parallel with the trade fair and under its umbrella; initially the “Biochemical Analysis Conference” and, since 1994, the analytica conference, which has been organised by Forum Analytik, bringing together three scientific societies have joined forces to promote analytical chemistry:
The analytica conference is the science-focused component of the world’s leading trade fair, analytica, and offers an interdisciplinary, forward-looking and practice-oriented conference programme: ranging from basic research to application-oriented topics, and from instrumental analysis to analysis in the life sciences, medicine and biotechnology.
Leading international and global scientists will report on what modern methods can achieve, where they can be applied and where their limitations lie.&All events aim to familiarise those interested in analytics with the diversity of methods, processes and techniques, and to stimulate dialogue between research, industry and instrument manufacturers. The lunchtime poster sessions, at which early-career researchers in particular present their latest research findings, also encourage exchange and discussion.
The programme for the first analytica conference in 1994 already featured neural networks as well as immunoassays in environmental and food analysis. Current highlights include, amongst others, the topics of data management, artificial intelligence, the sustainable laboratory and sustainability in the laboratory.
The analytica conference takes place over the first three days of the trade fair as a five-track event, offering around 190 invited scientific presentations across a total of 45 sessions, as well as over 100 posters.
