An Invitation to the Light Scattering Community Day in Amsterdam.

Be part of a stronger light scattering community with an open space to learn, connect, and grow.

Join us for an in‑person light scattering seminar bringing together researchers, scientists and industry experts to share experiences and explore best practices across the full light scattering journey from discovery to quality control. 

This interactive event will cover key topics from the fundamentals of light scattering, to advanced particle analysis, through FFF and MALS, to the automation of biophysical characterization. Combining peer presentations of challenges and solutions with the opportunity to explore our latest developments with Waters experts, the seminar provides an exciting chance to inspire future collaboration and growth.
