CAMS Conference & Networking Event 2024

We are delighted to be holding CAMS 4th Annual Conference and Networking Event on 18 September 2024 at the Royal Society of Chemistry, London.

This one day conference will celebrate the great research, insights and developments of CAMS over the last 2 years. As part of this event, attendees will hear about ongoing CAMS industry and academic collaborations and CAMS fellowship projects.  

After getting a flavour of the type of work ongoing in our CAMS projects, attendees will hear from our industry members about their specific challenges as well as from our measurement science research (MSI) theme chairs about our 2025 CAMS grand challenges. 

The afternoon networking session will give you the opportunity to talk face to face with our industry members about their measurement science challenges and be able to ask more contextual questions/really get ‘under the skin’ of the challenge. Importantly, attending will help you kick-start the process to getting the industry partners interested in collaborating with you on a CAMS project or will help you to understand how to best write/target your grand challenge application so it has the best chance for success.

Keep your eyes on our social media for updates. The grand challenges will be issued in advance of the event on 5 September so you can come to the event armed with your questions and ideas.

Looking forward to seeing you at the event! (Registration is free to the UK and Irish analytical science community).
