Virtual Postcard of the Conference

History

Since 1983 Hungarian chemometricians meet every year for three days to see the latest results of their colleagues in Hungary. In every fourth year the chemometric meetings were included in the annual congress of the Hungarian Chemical Society (Pécs 1988, Szombathely 1992, Eger 1996). After successful regional chemometric meetings (e.g. Scandinavian, Mediterranean, Dutch) a similar conference is intended to organize in Central Europe, with the pointed aim of continuing the tradition of East-West meetings initiated by Slovak, Czech and Hungarian Chemical Societies bodily.
