Join our IRMS User Meeting
July 2 - 3, 2024 / Langenselbold, Germany
Following the success of our IMRS User Meetings in previous years, we are pleased to announce that our next IRMS User Meeting for the DACH/BENELUX region will take place from 2nd - 3rd July 2024 at our Headquarters in Langenselbold, Germany. The participation in this event is free of charge.
With our IRMS User meeting, we provide a collaborative event space to discuss and promote stable isotope analysis and instrumentation. We want to support the elemental analysis and stable isotope analysis community. Therefore, we are proud to provide a space to foster new ideas and share best analytical practices to enable optimal instrument performance, data quality and instrument lifetime. The event is free and open to anyone who uses or might use stable isotope analyzers, but only available for a limited number of participants. Early career researchers, students and users from under-represented groups are welcome as well.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Len Wassenaar from Wassercluster Lunz will give a keynote speech on "Unleashing the Power of Innovation: Insights from 30 Years in Environmental Stable Isotope Research". In addition, we have already received confirmations for lectures from the Curt-Engelhorn-Zentrum Archäometrie GmbH, the Justus Liebig University of Giessen and the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam.
The program includes presentations from IRMS users, showcasing their applications and research as well as presentations from our application specialists. We look forward to your registration until June 15th, 2024.
