Quality Assurance Elements for Analytical Laboratories in the University Curriculum - Online
 |
Overview
This online international workshop attracted 79 participants from 23 countries as far afield as Iran and Brazil. The Workshop, hosted by Eurachem Romania and the University Politehnica of Bucharest, addressed issues of interest for specialists working in academia, accreditation bodies, and in domains where the outcome of analytical laboratories is definitive. Attendance included participants in clinical and pharmaceutical analysis, environmental and food quality assessment, nuclear analysis and others. The meeting included invited presentations, contributed oral presentations, and discussion and poster sessions.
The separate pages below give details of the programme, and available presentation material can be found on the Presentations and Posters tabs below.

Online event
In light of the global coronavirus health emergency in 2020, Eurachem-Romania and the Organizing Committee took the decision to convert the scientific workshop “Quality assurance for analytical laboratories in the university curriculum” to an entirely virtual scientific meeting, held on 14-15 July 2020. The workshop accordingly became the first Eurachem Online Workshop.
