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 Support Vector Regression, ExxonMobil Chemical, Diegem, April 30, 2010 Not many details available yet, apart from the topic, the venue and one of the speakers: Prof Johan Suykens of ESAT at the KU Leuven. It is going to be a half-day seminar. 2010 D.L. Massart Award in Chemometrics 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. Note that the deadline for entering the competition will not change, so as to maintain the bi-annual rhythm started in 2006. The DLM Award winners are: 2006: Gabriel Vivó-Truyols, "New strategies for optimisation and data treatment in HPLC" 2008: José Camacho, "New Methods Based on the Projection to Latent Structures for Monitoring, Prediction and Optimization of Batch Processes" The competition for the 2010 D.L. Massart award is open, and the ceremony will take place during the BCS symposium 2010 to be held at Antwerpen University, October 21, as part of CAC2010. If you are interested, please download the rules and the application form. Don't hesitate, and please note that the deadline for entering the competition is March 1st 2010. 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
