International Conference on Non-Target Screening (ICNTS 25) (Hybrid)

Building on the successful SWEMSA workshops in 2016 and 2019 and the ICNTS in 2021 and 2023, the series will continue in 2025, once again providing a platform for submitted talks and posters on advances in non-target screening.
The focus of ICNTS25 will be on “Non-Target Screening strategies on the way to robust and sustainable analytical and data handling workflows” and the recently started PINTS initiative (i.e. Pipelines in Non-Target Screening)
with an interdisciplinary view to overcome the barriers between different disciplines.
We are looking forward to lively discussion with experts in software engineering, NTS workflow developments in different analytical sectors.
