2009/1

Dear Subscriber !

Welcome to the first issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter for the new year 2009.

This year will be a rather busy one with respect to meetings relevant to speciation scientists. While going to meetings is one part of the necessary communication between scientists, the number of meetings is such that everybody has to select the most relevant ones, in order to find the time to do the work to be presented. One of the very few meetings totally focused on speciation analysis is TraceSpec 2009, jointly organized by EVISA, University of Mainz and IAEAC. Definitely, you should not miss that one...

Visit the TraceSpec'2009 web site

In order to get an overview about relevant meetings, please visit the EVISA Agenda of Events.

NEWS

EVISA is keeping you updated  with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.

With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.




TraceSpec 2009: Experts in Speciation Analysis will join in Mainz, September 15-18, 2009
While many people have the feeling that the number of meetings definitively is too big, those focused on speciation analysis are absolutely rare. TraceSpec is one of those, and with the 12th event scheduled in Mainz, it is a well established series of workshops.
