An important objective for our winter meetings is to strengthen the MS relations in Norway. We want to make social connections in addition to the professional ones. The seminar serves as a meeting point for everyone involved with all forms of Mass Spectrometry.

We will have an opportunity to present our work at our meetings. We appreciate all contributions, no one is too small, so you should take some time to make your own presentation. Students and phd students have an excellent opportunity to get to know people working with Mass Spectrometry and valuable training in presenting academic material. You may even win the poster price! Students who wish to present their work at the seminar are encouraged to apply for funding from Hvistendahls Memorial Fund to attend to the seminar. Application deadline: 1st December. The organizing committee will process the applications consecutively.

Registered posters

At Sunday we arrange a free MS course for those who want to “brush up” on old knowledge or for those who need a refill. This course has received good feedback previous years.

Themes

The themes to focus on for this meeting are: Lipidomic, Fundamental, Environmental and Doping Analysis, Biological Macromolecules and Instruments and Applications.

	Opening lecture:
	Peter Hemmersbach Oslo University Hospital, Norwegian Doping Control Laboratory "History of mass spectrometry at the Olympic Games”
	Invited speakers:
	Environmental and doping analysis Phil Teale HFL Sport Science, Quotient Bioresearch ltd “Mass Spectrometry and Doping Control in Horseracing: Past and Present”
	Lipidomic Kai Simons Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics “Modern lipidomic by use of mass spectrometry”
	Biological macromolecules Peter Hemmersbach Oslo University Hospital, Norwegian Doping Control Laboratory “Identifikasjon av biologiske makromolekyler i dopinganalyse ved hjelp av massespektrometri - Muligheter og begrensninger”
	Fundamental Justin Benesch University of Cambridge, Department of Chemistry “The fundmentals of Ion mobility mass spectrometry”
	Instrumental and applications Vic Parr Scientific Analysis Instruments, UK “GCxGC MS; a comprehensive overwiew"

We welcome lectures (limited to 20 min each) and posters from our participants – register your contribution today! Posters will be displayed in the rooms where the Suppliers have their stands (and where the coffee breaks will be held). There will be a MS course between lunch and the user meetings on Sunday.
