Scientific Programme

The meeting will feature a series of exciting lectures covering a range of ambient ionisation-related work for both new techniques & applications, flash-oral presentations and a poster session which will be an excellent opportunity for great discussions, and an exhibition to find out about the latest commercial products. 

As always, early career researchers & students will be encouraged to deliver lectures and posters, with the Pete Ryan prize awarded to the best presentation. BMSS Travel Grants are available to qualifying members.

A copy of the the event flyer and a downloadable copy of the Scientific Prgramme can be found in the Resources Section at the bottom of this webpage.
