Attracting scientists at all levels – including faculty from small and large research and undergraduate universities, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students – MUACC helps shape the future of analytical chemistry by discussing the current state of the art, identifying new research trends, and exposing new generations of scientists to a broad scientific legacy, all in an informal setting. The first Midwestern Universities Analytical Chemistry Conference was held in 1946 and has been going strong since.
