Solutions in Science 2025 was a grand success!
Our largest event to date is Solutions in Science, or SinS!
“SinS” brings together scientists and analytical chemists to discuss and explore the latest products, techniques and analytical Solutions. With “Sustainability” in mind one of the main aims of SinS is to bring together special interest groups to one large meeting rather than many smaller meetings which will cut down on travel and time but increase networking and information sharing capabilities.
