The workshop is broken up in two sessions for practical (sample

also stay for the meeting!

Those wishing to attend are requested to submit a short paragraph
describing how they would benefit from the workshop along with the
registration form. The registration fee for the workshop will be

finalised and will be sent by email to those who register interest
in the workshop.

Meeting:

The MaSC meeting will be held at the Auditorium dell'Opera della
Primaziale Pisana, Pisa, 5-6 June, 2013 and will comprise
discussions and presentations on a variety of chromatographic and
mass spectrometric techniques and their application to the study of
art and cultural artefacts. Contributions on HPLC and LCMS
techniques are encouraged although we welcome presentations on a
broad range of topics. We hope to create a collegial atmosphere for
the exchange of ideas, and so presentations and discussions of work
in progress are welcomed.

Those interested in presenting a paper or poster should submit a 150
word abstract to masc2013<-at->mascgroup<.>org.

Questions can be forwarded to the local organisers, c/o Ilaria

are trying to find ways to reduces costs. Details will be announced
and the registration form posted on the MaSC website by November 1,
2012.
