The past events were held in Chalkidiki (1999), Ioannina (2001), Thessaloniki (2003), Heraklion (2005), Patras (2007), Athens (2009) and Chania (2011), Thessaloniki (2013) and Kalamata (2015) with 250-300 scientific papers presented by scientists from all over the world at each one. For the last 18 years IMA has provided an excellent framework for the presentation of new concepts, instruments, methods, systems, and applications in the area of modern chemical analysis. Researchers and scientists from Universities, Research Institutions, State Organizations, and Industry come together during the meeting to present and discuss the current state of the art in the area of instrumental methods of analysis. At the same time, it provides the grounds for graduate and post graduate students to present their projects, discuss scientific collaborations with other groups, as well as to explore employment opportunities.
The scientific program will consist of keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, given by a wide mix of scientists ranging from established academics and world leaders in analytical chemistry, all the way through to dynamic and ambitious graduate students. ​In addition, we aim to attract contributions from commercial organizations, including presentations of new instrumentation, new applications and assessment of future commercial trends and opportunities. Furthermore, interesting workshops in the framework of IMA2017 will be organized. We therefore anticipate a very energetic and dynamic scientific gathering!
Some of the general themes that will be covered at IMA-2017 include current trends and developments in: • Spectrochemical and Electrochemical analysis • Chromatographic, Mass Spectrometric and Microscopic analysis • Thermal analysis • Proteomics, Metabolomics, Metallomics and Elemental Speciation analysis • Chemical- and bio- sensors • Field analysis - Mobile analytical instruments • Miniaturized analytical systems (Lab-on-a-Chip) • Micro- and Nano- fluidics • Immunoassays • Electrophoretic separation techniques • Sampling techniques and strategies • Sample handling and preparation • Robotics and Automation • Quality control-quality assurance in analysis • Metrology • Environmental, Biomedical, Pharmaceutical, Food, and • Materials Analysis (Nanomaterials, Smart/Advanced Materials) • Archaeometry • Analytical chemistry markets and possibilities for commercialization
