Join our international IRMS Meeting
June 16 - 17, 2026 / Langenselbold, Germany
Following the success of our IMRS User Meetings DACH in previous years, we are pleased to announce that the international IRMS Meeting will take place from June 16-17, 2025 in Langenselbold, Germany. The participation in this event is free of charge.
With our IRMS meeting, we provide a collaborative event space to discuss and promote stable isotope analysis and instrumentation. We want to support the elemental analysis and stable isotope analysis community. Therefore, we are proud to provide a space to foster new ideas and share best analytical practices to enable optimal instrument performance, data quality and instrument lifetime. The event is free and open to anyone who uses or might use stable isotope analyzers, but only available for a limited number of participants. Early career researchers, students and users from under-represented groups are welcome as well.
We are pleased to announce that Dr François Fourel will give the Keynote.
The program includes presentations from IRMS users, showcasing their applications and research as well as presentations from our application specialists. We look forward to welcome the participants of the IRMS meeting in Langenselbold!
