Method Validation - Current Practices and Future Challenges (2016)

The Eurachem International Workshop on the topic of "Method Validation - Current Practices and Future Challenges" was held in Ghent on 9-10 May 2016.

The workshop addressed current practices, problems and future directions of method validation. The focus was on in-house method validation in analytical science applied in different fields such as environment, food, health, forensics, pharmaceuticals and microbiology.

Approximately 130 participants attended from 28 countries. Available presentations, workshop summaries and poster information  is given below.
