During 17 September – 20 September 2023, the 13th International Conference on Instrumental Methods of Analysis- Modern Trends and Applications (IMA2023) was successfully held in Crete, Greece.

Organized by the National Technical University of Athens and the Technical University of Crete. This year the conference included 146 oral and poster presentations covering a wide range of scientific topics (i.e., Sensors and Biosensors, Chromatography: Applications to life sciences and toxicology, Speciation Analysis, Advanced X-ray techniques, Food Analysis, Materials, Archaeometry, Spectrometry, Environmental, Sample handling)

TrAMS group participated in the conference with 1 plenary lecture, 1 oral presentation, and 2 poster presentations. Scientific results of several research projects of the group in collaboration with national and European institutes and universities were displayed at the conference.

The oral and poster presentations of the TRAMs group are presented below:
