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 forum for discussions of analytical chemistry – the Forum for Analytical Chemistry - was continued with the following FAC Meeting: 

The 2019 Meeting of the Forum for Analytical Chemistry was held on March 22, 2019

Venue: Auditorium C114-101, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99, 8200 Aarhus N

The meeting was arranged by the Department of Forensic Medicine, Aarhus University.

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