WWEM 2018 will take place on from the 21st to the 22nd of November 2018 in Telford (UK), and is the 8th in the series of International Water & Wastewater Monitoring Events. These events focus on companies and individuals involved with water, waste water and environmental monitoring. This year, WWEM will showcase over 150 companies which provide instrumentation, equipment and services to monitor, test and analyse water and waste water, as well as 80 free technical seminar sessions on applications and case studies.

The ‘Analytical Developments’ Conference at WWEM 2018 is being organised as a collaborative effort by the British Mass Spectrometry Society (BMSS) and the Royal Society of Chemistry’s interest groups, the Separation Science Group (SSG) and the Water Science Forum. We are looking for oral and poster presentations for new developments in all areas relevant to WWEM, with a particular emphasis on the following applications:

• Waste water screening
• Microplastics/plastics in the environment
• Analysis for passive sampling
• On-line and at-line analysis
• Metals and nutrients
• Bio-toxicity and speciation
• Taste and odour
• Automation
• Data analysis, interpretation and modelling

If you would like to be considered for an oral or poster presentation, please submit an abstract of 200-500 words, briefly highlighting the application area, key benefits and novelty of your research via the WWEM submission portal (here). The closing date for oral abstract submission is 30th April 2018.
