Spring SciX 2026 will take place at the University of Exeter, April 14-16, 2026.

Spring SciX is a UK-based meeting of the successful SciX series, covering a wide range of analytical chemistry research, with a focus on early career researchers. Join leaders in the analytical sciences as they present progress on emergent topics, meet with exhibitors, and networks over three days in Devon.

List of sessions:

• AI in analytical chemistry
• Clinical spectroscopy / biomedical imaging
• Non-linear optical spectroscopy
• Emerging technologies
• Advances in biological mass spectrometry
• Plasmonics and nanomaterials
• IRDG Martin & Willis
• Frontiers in IR
