The University of Antwerp (AXES group), together with Ghent University (XMI group) and Liege University (CEA) have the pleasure of inviting you to the 2022 edition of the European X-ray Spectrometry conference. This edition of the EXRS conference, organised in collaboration with the European Microbeam Analysis Society (EMAS), will take place in the historic city centre of Bruges (Belgium), which is listed as UNESCO world heritage.
The European Conference on X-ray Spectrometry (EXRS) is a biennial conference series that started in 1984 in Gothenburg, Sweden. This conference has become a traditional meeting for scientists from around the world working in X-ray spectrometry or using one of its several techniques: X-ray fluorescence (conventional, micro-fluorescence, synchrotron-based and total-reflection), electron microprobe, PIXE, XRD, etc. It represents an exciting discussion forum for basic research and applications of X-ray spectrometry in a rich variety of fields like materials science, chemistry (analysis of materials, quantification), radiation physics, medicine (medical physics, medical imaging), biology, environment, cultural heritage, technology and industry. EXRS is an opportunity to learn more about the latest in theoretical, experimental and applied XRS, to discuss with people from all over the world, to share your own work and to learn from others. The last three conferences were held in Ljubljana, Slovenia 2018; Gothenburg, Sweden 2016 and Bologna, Italy 2014.
