Programme

An Early Career Event in the afternoon/evening of September 27th 2026 and a Mass Spectrometry Imaging Get-Together event in the afternoon of September 30th 2026 are planned. Details will follow.

The Early Career workshop will feature talks around the theme of “Career Paths in Metabolomics”. Two academic speakers, Professor Tuulia Hyötyläinen (Örebro University, Sweden) and Associate Professor Julia Debik (ECR at NTNU, Norway) will talk about their career experiences within the Nordic University system. Dr. Cristian De Gobba from Bruker will give a perspective on career pathways in industry. This will be followed by a social mixer with food and drinks.
The location of this workshop: “Scandic Hotels Uplandia” (Dragarbrunnsgatan 32, 753 20 Uppsala)
