Welcome to the Community for Analytical Measurement Science

Welcome to CAMS — a collaborative community dedicated to advancing analytical measurement science.
 
We bring the community together through events, such as the 2025 Sensors and Photonics State of the Nation meeting in Leeds, creating opportunities to address challenges, exchange insights, and shape future technology roadmaps.
 
Knowledge sharing and professional development are central to our mission. We offer a range of learning opportunities, from webinars to hands‑on training, helping participants deepen their expertise and apply analytical measurement science in practice.
 
Through our Postdoctoral and PhD funding calls, CAMS supports high‑potential research across our priority areas. We are proud to have catalysed 70 industry‑ and academic‑led projects, enabled by the support of partners in industry, academia, and the Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund. These collaborations highlight the vital role our community plays in driving innovation across the UK and Ireland.
 
Across the network, CAMS contributes to policy dialogue by developing recommendations and papers for funding bodies and stakeholders. 
With new partnerships emerging, we continue to offer a dynamic environment for innovation, training, and community building.

 

About Analytical Measurement Science

 

Every aspect of product lifestyle involves some aspect of analysis: research, development, registration, specification, control, safety, use, re-use/recycle and disposal; and there can be no synthesis without analysis. The UK needs a strong analytical measurement science community to underpin its innovation and research. Analytical science plays a crucial role in economic and societal dynamics. Positioned between fundamental sciences and final application, analytical science is at the heart of innovation. Read more

 

Measurement Science Research Institue (MSI)

 

Measurement Science Research Institue (MSI) is CAMS Community Research and Innovation Network.

MSI, is a network of UK and Irish academic institutions, aim to lead, in collaboration with CAMS Industry Advisory Board, on the delivery of research and innovation projects developing novel technologies that support future industrial needs.

 

MSI Co-chair

Appointed MSI Co-chairs for each theme (one industrialist and one academic). These appointments will be for a 3 year term. With support from the CAMS secretariat and MSI and IAB chairs, the appointed leads take an active role in the operation of the MSI.

Building Effective Analytical Measurement (BEAM)

Building Effective Analytical Measurement (BEAM) is CAMS Community Training Network.

BEAM aim is to identify, in collaboration with the Industry Advisory Board and the Academic Management Panel, new chemical and bio-analytical measurement science training requirements and to develop opportunities and identify existing materials that fulfil chemical and bio-analytical measurement science training requirements.

Our purpose is to source and disseminate knowledge about training resources and events which address the training needs of the CAMS Network. BEAM also aims to disseminate best practice analytical measurement science principles, collaborating with organisations within and outside the network. Read more here
