DCS: Dutch Chemometrics Society

Dear data enthusiasts, chemometricians, old friends, and new friends,

After a quiet period, we are very pleased to reconnect with you and to announce a new series of online webinars organized by the Dutch Chemometrics Society.

Chemical data analysis continues to evolve rapidly, with new methods, tools, and applications emerging every day. With this webinar series, we aim to bring our community together again to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and highlight exciting developments in chemometrics, machine learning, and data-driven chemical analysis.

We warmly invite you to join us for the first webinar in this new series:

Deep Learning in Chemometric Applications
Boudewijn Hollebrands & Andrea Junior Carnoli
June 10th, 2026, 12:00–13:00 h
Online via Teams

The session will feature two talks on transfer learning, deep learning, and their applications in food peptide analysis and food safety studies.

We hope this will be the start of an inspiring chapter for the Dutch Chemometrics Society, and we would be delighted to see many of you there.

The second session of this series will be on:

Complex optimizations and Simulations to Improve Separation Sciences
Gerben van Henten & Nino Milani
Juli 1st, 2026, 12:00–13:00 h
Online via Teams

More information can be found in the flyer attached. The Teams link can be found below and in the flyer attached.

Kind regards,

On behalf of the board of the Dutch Chemometrics Society,
Ewoud van Velzen, Ewa Szymanska, Agnieszka Smolinska, Rita Folcarelli, Tijmen Bos, Robert van Vorstenbosch, and Andrea Junior Carnoli.

The Dutch Chemometrics Society is pleased to announce its new board. With this new team in place, we are looking ahead with renewed enthusiasm and a clear ambition: to bring new energy to the chemometrics community in the Netherlands.

Chemometrics continues to play an important role in connecting data, modelling, and real-world applications across science and industry. As a society, we want to strengthen that connection by creating more opportunities for exchange, discussion, and collaboration between researchers, students, and professionals working in this field. The new board is committed to supporting an active and visible community in which knowledge sharing, inspiration, and networking remain central.

The new DCS board consists of Rita Folcarelli, Agnieszka Smolinska, Ewa Szymańska, Ewoud van Velzen, Robert van Vorstenbosch, Andrea Junior Carnoli, and Tijmen Bos. Together, they represent a broad range of expertise across academia and industry, and they are motivated to further strengthen the position of chemometrics in the Netherlands.

In the coming period, the board will focus on stimulating interaction within the community and creating attractive activities for members and other interested professionals. A first step in this will be the first digital session with talks, which will take place in June. More information about the programme and speakers will follow soon, so we encourage everyone to keep posted.

We are excited about this new chapter for the Dutch Chemometrics Society and look forward to meeting many of you during upcoming activities and events.
