Belgian Chemometrics Society

The Chemometrics section goes by the name of Belgian Chemometrics Society (BCS), and aims at promoting Chemometrics in industry, through workshops and symposia.The BCS consists of a committee, the active members, and a mailing list, the passive members. You are very welcome to join either! Just drop a line to chemometrie@kvcv.be

Upcoming events

BCS symposium "Advances in Chemometrics" with D.L. Massart award ceremony, June 8, 2012, Ghent University

In the same rhythm as the D.L Massart Award, i.e. every two years in spring, the BCS organizes its full-day symposium. Check out the programme.

Venue: Culture- and Convention Center Het Pand, Universiteit Gent, Ghent, Belgium

Please register on-line.

Détection de fraudes, June 14, 2012, Paris, France

There is plenty to do in June. Between our very own symposium and good old CAC, you can go to Paris for a one-day seminar, in French, on picking out frauds.

Chemometrics in Analytical Chemistry (CAC), June 25-29 2012, Budapest, Hungary

Budapest was chosen as the location for the CAC 2012, as was enthusiastically advertised by organizer Karoly Heberger at the closing of CAC2010 in Antwerp.

Chemometrics in time-resolved and imaging spectroscopy, December 3-4 2012, Lille, France

This workshop, with the subtitle "Instrumental measurements and data analysis" is jointly organized by our friends in Lille and Barcelona. Check out the web site.

2012 D.L. Massart Award in Chemometrics

The 2012 D.L. Massart award has been granted to Noslen Hernández for her thesis: New statistical calibration methods for univariate, multivariate and functional data.

Noslen will come to the BCS symposium in June, not just to receive the award, but also to present the work she did for her thesis.

The BCS created this award in honour of the late professor D.L. Massart, one of the world's leading authorities in the field of chemometrics. The bi-annual D.L. Massart Award is granted to the best PhD thesis defended in the two years preceding the award ceremony that takes place at the equally bi-annual BCS symposium.

The previous DLM Award winners are:

2010: Jens Bo Holm-Nielsen, "Process Analytical Technologies for Anaerobic Digestion Systems"

2008: José Camacho, "New Methods Based on the Projection to Latent Structures for Monitoring, Prediction and Optimization of Batch Processes"

2006: Gabriel Vivó-Truyols, "New strategies for optimisation and data treatment in HPLC"

The D.L Massart award has been made possible by the financial support of the following sponsors:
