42nd International Conference on Environmental & Food Monitoring ISEAC-42

30 November – 3 December 2027

VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands

ISEAC 42 – Interdisciplinary approaches to address current and future challenges in environmental and food analysis

The 42nd International Conference on Environmental & Food Monitoring, ISEAC-42, will be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 30 November to 3 December 2027, under the umbrella of the International Association of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (IAEAC). Following the great success of ISEAC-41 in 2023, we are delighted to return to Amsterdam and warmly welcome you to continue with us this exciting conference series.

The conference focuses on innovations in analytical techniques covering the environment–food continuum, gathering scientists from Europe and around the world. ISEAC-42 aims to highlight the latest scientific and technological achievements and provides a platform for developing contacts and networking, exchanging out-of-the-box ideas, meeting with vendors, and discovering the latest analytical developments.

Topics

Sustainability and planetary boundaries feature ever more prominently in the public debate, and integrated solutions for a better living environment and a healthy life are needed now more than ever. At ISEAC-42, challenges in both environmental and food monitoring and analysis will be addressed, and trends and future perspectives will be demonstrated.

Topics for the conference include (but are not limited to):

Environment:

  • Effect-directed analysis and in vitro assays for mixture assessment
  • Elemental analysis and speciation
  • Metabolites and transformation products
  • Persistent, mobile and toxic chemicals
  • Pesticides of emerging concern: high-risk pesticides and PFAS-like pesticides
  • QA/QC and Certified Reference Materials

Food:

  • Food contact materials
  • Food fraud and authenticity
  • Food safety strategies
  • Natural toxins, food supplements and processing contaminants
  • Omics technologies (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics)
  • Sensors, lab-on-a-chip and lab-to-the-sample/field solutions

Overarching:

  • Chemometrics, data science and artificial intelligence in analytics
  • Innovations in suspect and non-target screening
  • Micro- and nanoplastics analysis, across both environmental and food matrices
  • Risk assessment and modelling
  • Source identification

Renowned keynote speakers covering the topics of the conference will be part of the programme, complemented by dedicated opportunities for young scientists, poster sessions, and a continuous vendor exhibition presenting the latest laboratory equipment and solutions.
