About the conference

Norwegian X-ray Conference - “Where the Nordic XRF and XRD community meet." 

 

XRD and XRF spectrometry are revolutionizing chemical analysis across industries and research. With compact instruments—benchtop and handheld (HH)—these techniques are driving breakthroughs in recycling, environmental monitoring, and even art and archaeology. Combined with the green shift and digital transformation, the opportunities are endless! 

Join us at the Norwegian X-ray Conference— The Nordic's premier event for XRD and XRF professionals. This is your chance to connect with industry leaders, researchers, and suppliers, discover cutting-edge technologies, and explore new markets. Our focus? Innovation, practical applications, and the future of X-ray analysis. 

Organized under the Norwegian Chemical Society, we’ve been promoting chemistry and technology since 1980, when Åge Storm founded the first seminar. Today, the conference is a vibrant hub for knowledge sharing and networking.
