Junganalytiker*innen Forum 2023
The Junganalytiker*innen Forum (JA*F) is a two-day event of the Austrian Society for Analytical Chemistry (ASAC) that offers early career researchers the opportunity to present their work and network with experts from industry and science. The scientific programme, including lectures and posters, will be complemented by a range of social events to create an open environment for personal interactions on the most recent analytical achievements in Austria. Outstanding student contributions will be selected by the scientific panel and awarded by the organizers of JA*F.
This year, the event will be held between 11.-12.5.2023 at the Chair of General and Analytical Chemistry, Montanuniversität Leoben. Our special thanks go to our sponsors for supporting the conference.
We look forward to meeting you at the 18th ASAC Junganalytiker*innen Forum at the Montanuniversität Leoben!
