expertise and independence through

compliance, synergy and sharing common objectives.
The Division of Mass Spectrometry has as its priorities four main areas in which to project, promote and implement its own activity and action:
- EDUCATION: schools, courses, seminars, workshops.

- IN ITALY and INTERNATIONALLY in collaboration with public and private research institutions.
