Welcome to the 15th Rapid Methods Europe Conference

THANK YOU

RME2023 – the 15th conference in the Rapid Methods Europe series dedicated to innovations and breakthroughs in rapid analysis & diagnostics across the agri-food, plant science, environment (water), healthcare (human, animal), and forensic science sectors – has come to an end.
The common theme of this year’s event was 'HOW CAN WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER?' The conference focused on the technology rather than the sector, aiming to bring together scientists with different expertise with the possibility of cross‐fertilizing each other and developing new views and applications.

We would like to say a big thank you to all participants and sponsors/exhibitors for taking part in this conference and making it the success that it was.

And our congratulations go to the winner of the Best Poster Award, Diana Senovilla-Herrero (Institute for Global Food Security, Queen’s University Belfast, UK) for her poster “Multiplex lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of marine biotoxins and chemical contaminants”.

And continue with networking!

We’re looking forward to meeting you again in autumn 2025 at RME2025 – 16th conference in the Rapid Methods Europe series – dedicated to innovations and breakthroughs in rapid analysis & diagnostics across the agri-food, plant science, environment (water), healthcare (human, animal), and forensic science sectors. Keep an eye on our website and social media platforms for the exact date and venue.

ABOUT THE RAPID METHODS EUROPE SERIES

The Rapid Methods Europe series is dedicated to innovations and breakthroughs in rapid analysis & diagnostics across the agri-food, plant science, water (environment), healthcare (human, animal), and forensic science sectors. Technologies include, but are not limited to (bio)sensors (electrochemical, optical, photonic), DNA/RNA-based detection methods, paper-based detection methods, microfluidic/nano/quantum devices, spectrometry, and spectroscopy. From concept to product, from analytical methods to systems, and from laboratory to on-site testing are the main themes of the conference.
