The deep understanding of any system is critically dependent on chemical measurements and analytical chemistry is the science that provides new techniques, methods, and procedures for doing accurate and precise measurements. These measurements are applied for bringing answers for a plethora of social and economical demands. In this sense, analytical chemists are closely involved with the development of new instruments, improvement of well-established instrumental methods, and the development of new applications using modern technology and modern strategies for data treatment. Based on these multiple activities and considering the central theme “Sustainability & Diversity through Chemistry”, the Analytical & Food Chemistry Symposium will highlight topics related to food analysis, such as chemometrics, chemical speciation and foodomics, and also important topics which reflect trends in analytical sciences, such as use of lasers, advances in separation methods, (bio)chemical sensors, flow analysis, electroanalysis, and mass spectrometry. You are kindly invited to present the contributions of your research group and we are looking forward to welcome you in the coming IUPAC 2017.
