Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox organization The International Mass Spectrometry Foundation (IMSF) is a non-profit scientific organization in the field of mass spectrometry.[1] It operates the International Mass Spectrometry Society, which consists of 37 member societies and sponsors the International Mass Spectrometry Conference that is held once every two years.[2]

Aims

The foundation has four aims:[3]

  1. organizing international conferences and workshops in mass spectrometry
  2. improving mass spectrometry education
  3. standardizing terminology in the field
  4. aiding in the dissemination of mass spectrometry through publications

Conferences

Before the formation of the IMSF, the first International Mass Spectrometry Conference was held in London in 1958 and 41 papers were presented. Since then, conferences were held every three years until 2012, and every two years since.[3] Conference proceedings are published in a book series, Advances in Mass Spectrometry, which is the oldest continuous series of publications in mass spectrometry. The International Mass Spectrometry Society evolved from this series of International Mass Spectrometry Conferences. The IMSF was officially registered in the Netherlands in 1998 following an agreement at the 1994 conference.[1]

Past meetings were held in these locations:[4] Шаблон:Columns-list
