Invitatin On behalf f the Organising Cmmittee f the 10 th triennial meeting Geanalysis 2018, I wuld like t invite yur rganisatin t take an active rle in this event as exhibitrs and spnsrs. The missin f the Internatinal Assciatin f Geanalysts (IAG) is t serve as an internatinal frum fr the advancement f geanalytical science and t prmte the interests and supprt the prfessinal needs f thse invlved in the analysis f gelgical and envirnmental materials. One f the IAG s majr means f fulfilling this missin is the triennial series f Geanalysis cnferences, which actively encurage the participatin f yunger clleagues and pstgraduates. Geanalysis meetings usually attract between 150 and 200 experts frm academia and industry. In additin t a large number f Eurpean and Nrth American gechemists wh specialise in geanalytical methds, many yung scientists frm Suth America and Asia regularly take part in the Geanalysis meetings. The cuncil f the Internatinal Assciatin f Geanalysts has selected Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia t hst the 10 t h internatinal cnference Geanalysis 2018, frm the 8th t 13th f July 2018. The Department f Earth and Planetary Sciences at Macquarie University hsts ne f the best equipped geanalytical labratries in Australia and enjys an utstanding internatinal reputatin supprting educatin, industry and research. The University s park-like campus prvides a relaxed Australian ambiance t meet, while ffering the lgistics and buzz f metrplitan, icnic Sydney. Geanalysis 2018 prvides a unique platfrm fr exhibitrs t netwrk with wrld-leading analytical gechemists, key academic custmers, and pstgraduate students. We sincerely hpe yu will be able t jin us in Sydney. Drrit Jacb Chair f Organising Cmmittee Geanalysis 2018
