Workshop: Untargeted metabolomics with mzmine on August 18, 2026 03.07. 2026

Are you already bored with summer? Do you hate the heat, the sun, and mosquitoes? Sign up for a summer workshop on using the mzmine program in untargeted metabolomics. This event is organized through a collaboration between the Czech Society for Mass Spectrometry and research groups at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB), the Institute of Microbiology (IMIC), and the University of Chemistry and Technology (UCT). The instructors are experts in metabolomic data processing from the Biochemistry of Plant Specialized Metabolites group (Tomáš Pluskal Group) at IOCB. The workshop will take place on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at the air-conditioned Biocev Center (Průmyslová 595, 252 50 Vestec-Jesenice u Prahy) starting at 9:30 a.m. Absolute beginners are encouraged to complete an approximately one-hour online session the day before, on Monday, August 17, at 10:00 a.m.

The registration form and detailed program can be found here

20th International Interdisciplinary Meeting on Bioanalysis – CECE 2026 (Bratislava, Slovakia) 17.04. 2026

Dear friends and colleagues, we cordially invite you to the 20th International Interdisciplinary Meeting on Bioanalysiss – CECE 2026, which will take place October 21–23, 2026, at the Tatra Hotel in Bratislava. The CECE conference has long served as a unique platform for experts from various fields of bioanalytical sciences to meet. Its goal is to promote interdisciplinary dialogue, share the latest findings, and foster new scientific collaborations across disciplines. The scientific program will feature plenary and keynote lectures by leading international experts, technical oral presentations, and interactive poster sessions. Theme-wise, the conference will focus on modern separation techniques and microfluidics, (bio)pharmaceutical and clinical analysis, “omics” and nanotechnology in bioanalysis, as well as the use of data analysis and artificial intelligence in bioanalytical research. An integral part of the program will also be the CECE Junior section, designed for doctoral students and young researchers, which will provide a space for presenting their own work, developing scientific communication, and building future professional connections. We look forward to seeing you in Bratislava and to engaging in both professional and informal discussions in an inspiring international setting.

22nd Annual Workshop on Emerging HRMS and LC-MS Applications in Environmental Analysis and Food Safety + 7th International Conference on Risk Assessment of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (Barcelona, Spain) 07.04. 2026

Dear friends, we are pleased to inform you that the 22nd Annual Workshop on New Applications of HRMS and LC-MS in Environmental Analysis and Food Safety will take place in Barcelona from November 9–11, 2026, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Environmental Risk Assessment of Pharmaceuticals. The program will focus on the practical applications of HRMS and tandem mass spectrometry techniques for the screening and quantification of organic contaminants in environmental and food samples, as well as the investigation of the fate, risks, and removal of pharmaceutical residues in the environment. The workshop provides an informal and interactive platform for researchers from academia, government agencies, and industry to share the latest research findings, methods, and ideas. Several awards will be presented for outstanding contributions, including prizes for the best oral presentation, best poster, and best student presentation. The organisers also offer the opportunity to publish your work presented at this workshop in the open-access journal Xenobiotics JoX (IF 4,4, JCR Q1) as part of a special issue titled: Emerging Contaminants as Vectors of Global Change: Ecotoxicology, Bioaccumulation and Risk.
