The field of analytical chemistry is thriving across disciplines, as well as at institutions and companies in the Aarhus area and beyond. In order to expand networking and learn more about the activities and expertise in the area, the new forum for discussions of analytical chemistry – the Forum for Analytical Chemistry - was continued in 2018 with the following FAC Meeting: 

The 2018 Meeting of the Forum for Analytical Chemistry was held on March 16, 2018.
Venue: DuPont Nutrition & Health, Edwin Rahrs Vej 38, 8220 Aarhus V.

The day consisted of partner presentations, a poster session, and scientific presentations.
