1^st ANNOUNCEMENT – 13^th International Conference IMA 2023

It is our great pleasure to announce the 13^th International Conference on “Instrumental Methods of Analysis” (IMA 2023), which will be held during 17-20 September 2023 in Chania, Crete, Greece.

IMA is a biannual series of conferences that started in 1999 and covers all areas of Analytical Chemistry and applications in a wide range of scientific disciplines (environment, food, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, forensics, archaeometry). Up to date,  several leading analytical chemists from Europe, North and South America and other continents have presented their research work at the previous IMA meetings and made a fulfil communication on timely issues in all fields of Instrumental Methods of Analysis.

In the 13^th IMA conference, it is our expectation to bring together some of the most talented and innovative analytical chemists from all over the world with enthusiastic new scientists. The scientific program will consist of keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations. Special sessions devoted to timely topics of Analytical Chemistry will be organized. Furthermore, we welcome contributions from companies, including presentations of new instrumentation, novel applications and assessment of future commercial trends and applications.

In addition to the exciting program, you will be able to enjoy the culture and sights of Chania. Chania is one of the most beautiful cities of Greece and most popular destinations in Europe, preserving the so-called Venetian harbor. Some of the most photographed beaches in the world, such as Balos and Elafonisi as well as the state-of the art tourist facilities will enthusiasm you. Furthermore, you will enjoy the traditional and authentic Cretan cuisine with all its ingredients and flavors.

In order to know more about the conference, including scientific sessions, invited speakers, important dates, registration, and submission of your contribution just visit our website (www.ima2023.gr), which will be continuously updated.

Looking forward to welcome you in Chania for an unforgettable conference.
