Rio Symposium
The Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry (RSAS) and the Brazilian Meeting on Chemical Speciation (EspeQBrasil) are traditional events in their respective areas, and have been held every two years. The RSAS and EspeQBrasil had their last edition held in 2023 in the city of Bento Gonçalves (RS) and have already passed through several Brazilian stares or different countries.
The Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry was initiated in 1988 by professors Adilson J. Curtius and Bernhard Welz with the intention that this event would represent an opportunity for interaction between Latin American students and scientists with renowned scientists from around the world. The RSAS has already been held in Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico and Chile. The event usually has around 300 to 350 participants and internationally renowned researchers. The main topics covered include atomic absorption spectrometry, optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), LIBS, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, various hyphenation techniques, as well as sample preparation. It is an event that traditionally features the main companies that serve these areas.
After the COVID-19 pandemic period, which prevented these events from taking place in 2020, 2021 and 2022, EspeQ was resumed jointly with RSAS in 2023, in the city of Bento Gonçalves (RS), and now, both will be held in 2025 in the city of São Pedro (SP). Therefore, the organizing committees of these events invite your company to be a sponsor, helping us to maintain these fruitful interaction spaces, with business opportunities and prospecting for new potential customers.
The Organizing Committee has experience in organizing major events and will ensure a high-quality event, both from a scientific point of view and in terms of facilities for partner companies. We are available to discuss further and thank you for your support.
