The 2012 Spectr’Atom conference takes place at Palais Beaumont, Pau, France, 19-22 June.
This meeting is aimed at a wide spectrum of atomic spectrometry users and seeks to promote exchanges between francophone colleagues from Europe, Africa and Canada.
The organisers hope that such an exchange forum will contribute to the development of various sectors of the analytical sciences in French-speaking countries.
Submission of abstracts is open until 31 March, and more details can be found on the event website.
See below for a selection of papers from French-speaking countries*
