IMSS
The Irish Mass Spectrometry Society
- The Irish Mass Spectrometry Society - IMSS - is a voluntary
society with the aim of providing a forum for practitioners
of Mass Spectrometry in Ireland. The Society is run by a committee
elected every two years and aims to hold one full-day scientific meeting
in May each year and if possible a half-day event later in the year.
The first meeting of Irish mass spectrometry users was in 1987 when a very successful
meeting was held in UCD Belfield.
In September 1993, an MS Users group was set up. An inaugural meeting was held in May 1994, a Society was formed and a committee put in place.
The name "The Irish Mass Spectrometry Society" was adopted
at the 1996 AGM.
The Society was reactivated in 2007 following a few years of dormancy after the AGM of 2003.
The Society is an Institutional Affiliate of the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation,
organisers of the IMSC meeting which next takes place in Kyoto, Japan in August 2012.
