On behalf of the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation (IMSF), we are pleased to welcome you to the 26th International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC), to be held in Lyon, France, from 22 to 28 August 2026. This edition is jointly organised by the French Society for Mass Spectrometry (SFSM) and the SFSM Youth Club, the German Society for Mass Spectrometry (DGMS) and the DGMS Young Scientists Group, and the Swiss Group for Mass Spectrometry (SGMS).
Previous successful editions of the IMSC Congress have been organised by the SFSM, DGMS and SGMS, including Bordeaux 1988, Bremen 2009 and Geneva 2014. The DGMS and SFSM also co-organised the EMSC2018 in Saarbrücken, and each national society has a tradition of organising annual national or joint meetings. In Lyon, participants can enjoy culture and leisure activities, such as the ruins of the city’s Roman foundation and the highlights of French gastronomy. The city is served by an international airport, three high-speed train stations and has plenty of accommodation.
The scientific programme is divided into 5 themes and will cover a wide range of topics on the present and future of mass spectrometry, including :
- Fundamentals, Instrumentation and Data
- Life Sciences, Health, Food and Pharmaceuticals
- Chemistry and Materials
- Environment, Resources and Energy
- Grand Challenges and Opportunities
Pre-conference courses and evening workshops will complement the scientific programme, offering a wide range of scientific, technical and professional development opportunities.
The all-in-one congress centre will provide large spaces for vendor sessions, seminar lunches, innovation talks, exhibitions and poster sessions, and will be able to accommodate well over 1500 participants. All stakeholders in the organisation are committed to promoting respect for people and the environment as a core value of IMSC2026. The Conference Chair is the Director of the Office of Equity, Inclusion and Diversity at the University of Lyon. The Scientific Committee will pay particular attention to a broad and fair representation of our community in the selection of communications. The City of Lyon, the Convention Bureau and MCI France are committed to eco-responsibility, with concrete actions and tools for organising an eco-responsible event.
