INTRODUCTION
NAMLS
is the acronym given to a series of eleven international conferences
organized to promote the development and application of "Nuclear
Analytical Methods in the Life Sciences". The first conference was held
in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1967, and the most recent one - the final one in the
series - was again held in the Netherlands, this time in Delft in
August 2015.
Other conferences in the series took place in Bangkok,Thailand (2012);
Lisbon, Portugal (2008); Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2005); Antalya, Turkey
(2002); Beijing, China (1998); Prague, Czech Republic (1993);
Gaithersburg, USA (1989); Vienna, Austria (1978); and Bled, Slovenia
(1972).
The first three conferences (then with a slightly different name) were
convened and organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA). All subsequent conferences were convened by the NAMLS
International Committee (NAMLS-IC) in cooperation with the IAEA.
Conference topics covered all types of neutron, photon and charged
particle activation analysis that can be used in the life sciences,
emphasis being placed on instrumental (INAA) and radiochemical (RNAA)
neutron activation analysis. Related analytical techniques, which also
fell within the conference scope, included particle-induced x-ray
emission (PIXE), energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) and
inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS). Relevant
applications of these methods focussed on studies of trace elements -
both essential and toxic ones - and their roles in biology, medicine,
agriculture, food sciences, nutrition and health-related environmental
sciences.
The Proceedings of all eleven conferences have been published in
peer-review international journals and books. They are widely
accessible in libraries around the world and, for the more recent ones,
also via the internet.

OTHER UPCOMING INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS OF RELEVANCE TO NAMLS
[deleted]HEVESY MEDAL AWARD
The Hevesy Medal Award is the premier international award of excellence honouring outstanding achievements in radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry. It is named after George de Hevesy (1885-1966), who received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1943 for his work on the use of isotopes as tracers in the study of chemical processes. Click here for general information on this award including a complete list of all medallists between 1968 and 2019.
Many
of the distinguished scientists who have been honoured by
this award have worked on topics that fall within the scope of NAMLS.
Nine of the recent recipients of the award are current or former
members of the NAMLS-IC. Three of the
recent NAMLS Conferences (Antalya, 2002, Rio de Janeiro, 2005 and
Delft, 2015) were
selected as venues for the award ceremonies.
