IMSC 2022 (Maastricht) session titles

It’s almost (as I write this) time to submit our IMSC abstract, for the meeting in Maastricht in August. The link to the main IMSC 2022 website is here. As a reminder, the deadline for abstracts is reported to be January 15, 2022 (12 PM CET).

The abstract submission website is set up so that you cannot see the format of the abstract or the sessions you can apply for until you start to submit your abstract. So, to save your time having to find this for yourselves, I have done the hard work for you :-). I hope this is useful to some.

Abstract format for IMSC 2022

• Introduction* (max 125 words)
• Methods* (max 100 words)
• Preliminary data (results)* (max 250 words)
• Please highlight mass spectrometry-related innovations: (max 30 words)

You can also upload 2 images (jpg only) and provide them with captions. I could see no indications of the sizes required.
