CHROMATOGRAPHERS ARE EuSSS Never heard of EuSSS? Read this Article and you will have...

Do you want to keep in touch with scientists who share the same or similar interests?

Do you want to know what’s happening in your speciality across Europe rather than just within your own country?

Do you wish to travel to scientific meetings and share your knowledge with others who will understand and appreciate it?

The founders of EuSSS wanted all these things and have set up the means for achieving them and more. It is very simple to join and costs you nothing. Analytical chemists who practise chromatography and employ chromatographers support many industries. Their input is vital to research and development, process control and manufacturing as well as in academic departments. Despite these ubiquitous, widespread applications the practitioners tend to live and work in relative isolation and do not venture abroad unless they are sent and paid for by their employers. As a result of this, separation science societies representing the interests of chromatographers are active in most countries but they concentrate mainly on activities within their country’s boundaries.

EuSSS has invited all the countries in Europe and Russia to join together to share the science of their members. This invitation has been accepted willingly by many societies who have pledged to cooperate and collaborate to spread knowledge to their members.

For example, by becoming a member of the UK’s Chromatographic Society www.chromsoc.com you become automatically a member of EuSSS and have access to its activities and events.

A new steering committee, consisting of Professor Boguslaw Buszewski, Attila Felinger and Chris Bevan, is taking the reins from Hartmut Frank and Francesco Dondi to continue to run the EuSSS and ensure its influence expands and blooms.

Many of the local societies’ events can be found within the EuSSS international calendar of events. EuSSS members are encouraged to attend and take an active part in them.
