WORKSHOPS
Workshops are organized by WEALA membership and address topics that may
be of interest to laboratories or Lab users or that are current affairs
of public interest. The workshops provide a forum for discussion and
are organized to provide views from speakers in industry, consulting,
or government regulators. There is always an attempt to bring an
analytical chemistry component to the workshops as well. For
information on upcoming workshops, check out the Upcoming Events
section. Some of our past workshops and topics are listed below.
