What IMCS 2027 is about

Bonjour,

It is our great pleasure to invite you on behalf of all the members of IMCS 2027 Committees to join the 21st International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS 2027), which will be held in the beautiful city of Montreal, Canada, from July 11-14, 2027.

The inception of this biennial conference around the world, dates to 1983 in Fukuoka, Japan. IMCS 2027 is an interdisciplinary forum in the field of sensors that includes physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and engineering disciplines. This conference will provide an international platform for discussion and exchange between researchers, students, industries and governments, and will also facilitate advancement of science and commercialization aspects of sensing.

Montreal is a prominent hub for sensing and health technologies, particularly in the realms of digital health, life sciences, and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare. Montreal which is Canada's second-largest city and the cultural hub of Quebec is famous for its rich history and vibrant arts scene as it perfectly blends Europe with North America. We are delighted to welcome you to Montreal, an island in the St. Lawrence River, globally renowned and known for its world-class festivals, diverse culinary and outstanding touristic experiences.
