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 Belgian Chemometrics Society organizes its full-day symposium. Our aim is to present chemometric tools and ideas that are of interest to industrial or academic practitioners. The speakers have been asked explicitly for self-criticism, in order to directly help practitioners decide whether they should embrace the techniques proposed or, for their purposes at least, stay with the tools they already know and use.
