The Analytical Section of the Norwegian Che
mical Society invites scientists and users of science to this 10th Nordic Co
nference on Plasma Spectrochemistry. We sincerely hope that yo
u will respond positively to this invitation and call for papers. Please in
form your colleagues about this opportunity to share and discuss their rece
nt experiences and to be scientifically updated through a number of
short courses given by international leading specialists in typical Norwegi
an informal surroundings. We look forward to your attendance at and partici
pation in this scientific event.
Objectives and Main Topics
By contrast to other plasma spectrochemistry meetings, the FREE short courses (2 hours duration) will be offered to all participants during the four day meeting which may be very attractive to participants to learn about and to be updated on plasma spectrochemistry. We are planning to organise 16 short courses, two or three in parallel each day , as part of the conference. Th is concept is ment to stimulate Nordic users of plasma based techniques to learn more about theoretical and practical issues as well as obtain special ists recommendations for methods improvements. Thus these short courses are also a unique opportunity for laboratory engineers to be updated.
The aim of the conference is to provide a forum to encourage the exchange of ideas and knowledge about recent developments and state-of-the-art knowledge in main areas of plasma spectrochemistry. Th e conference will bring together international participants experienced in fundamental aspects, instrumentation and applications in typical Norwegian informal settings to examine recent progress in this continuing growing fie ld; approximately 120 participants are expected to attend.
Fundamental aspects and instrumental developments of:
plasma fundamentals and mec
hanisms
plasma sources for atomization and excitation in atomic spectr
ometry and ionization in mass spectrometry
plasma source atomic emissi
on and mass spectrometry
laser-assisted plasma spectrometry
pl

Venue:
The conference venue will be the Hotel Alexandra located i n the most beautiful Fjord and Glacier Districts of Norway. The hotel is rec ognised as one of the best conference venues in Norway. We can guarantee th at participants will not quickly forget the extraordinary beauty & hosp itality of this region. The participants are expected to arrive at the hote l Saturday, June 6, and to travel home, either Wednesday after lunch or Thu rsday morning June 11.
We would stro ngly recommend you to arrange your travel to Loen as soon as possible to ob tain cheapest available flights. The most convenient travel is by plane fro m Oslo Gardermoen airport to Sandane and or Ørsta/Volda Hovden airports ope rated by Widerøe (WF), local airports with hotel transfer service (60 min d rive).Vigra, Ålesund airport is operated by SAS and Norwegian (2h4 5 min transfer).
