The European Conference on X-Ray Spectrometry (EXRS) is a biennial conference series that started in 1984 in Goteborg. This conference has become a traditional meeting for scientists from around the world working in x-ray spectrometry or using one of its several techniques: X-ray fluorescence (conventional, micro-fluorescence, synchrotron-based and total-reflection), electron microprobe, PIXE, XRD, etc. It represents an exciting discussion forum for basic research and applications of x-ray spectrometry in a rich variety of fields like materials science, chemistry (analysis of materials, quantification), radiation physics, medicine (medical physics, medical imaging), biology, environment, cultural heritage, technology and industry. EXRS is an opportunity to learn more about the latest in theoretic, experimental and applied XRS, to discuss with people from all over the world, to share your own work and to learn from others.
The scientific program consists of invited lectures from distinguished scientists, oral presentations and poster contributions given by the participants and industrial exhibition and presentations given by the sponsors.
The last two conferences were held in Gothenburg, Sweden 2016 and Bologna, Italy 2014.
