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.beUpcoming events Chemometrics from an industrial perspective, Antwerp, October 21, 2010, 14h00 - 17h00 This year's BCS symposium takes the shape of a special session of the international conference on Chemometrics in Analytical Chemistry (CAC 2010) that visits Belgium for a second time. Participants may register for this session alone, without having to join the full conference. The symposium opens with the presentation of the D.L. Massart Award in Chemometrics 2010, that was granted to Jens Bo Holm-Nielsen for his thesis "Process Analytical Technologies for Anaerobic Digestion Systems". Dr Holm-Nielsen's talk will kick off a series of presentations on industrial applications of chemometrics:
Registration is done on-line. The participation fee is 100 euro (excl VAT). Students get a 50% reduction. More information can be found in the symposium flyer.
The D.L. Massart Award 2010 has been granted to Jens Bo Holm-Nielsen for his thesis "Process Analytical Technologies for Anaerobic Digestion Systems". 
The award will be presented during the BCS symposium on October 21, as part of the international conference Chemometrics in Analytical Chemistry (CAC2010). At this occasion Dr Holm-Nielsen will give an oral presentation of the work put down in his 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. Because prof Massart was member of the permanent committee of the international conference on Chemometrics in Analytical Chemistry (CAC) from the start, and CAC 2010 will take place in Antwerp, October 18-21, it was decided to integrate the BCS symposium into CAC 2010. As a consequence, the BCS symposium, which had settled on a date in April, will, for the occasion, take place later in the year. This will not change the timing of the future D.L. Massart awards: the 2012 award will be open for PhD theses defended between April 2010 and March 2012. The previous DLM Award winners are: 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: CAMO, CQ Consultancy, ExxonMobil Chemical, Infometrix, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, Minitab, Novartis Pharma, Shell, Solvay, and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel Past BCS events
