　　The organizers of the 6th Asia-Pacific Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (APWC) cordially invite you to participate in this great event of the spectrochemical world, to be held in Xiamen, China. Stimulated by the ceaseless growth in popularity of plasma sources for atomization and excitation in atomic spectroscopy and ionization in mass spectrometry, and urgent need to discuss recent developments of plasma in spectrochemical analysis, this conference is organized. Besides it will bring together international scientists experienced in theory, instrumentation and applications to discuss and promote progress in the field. The objective of this conference is “to bring together spectroscopists on a worldwide scale to stimulate contacts and exchange of experiences”. It will consist of plenary and parallel sessions, poster presentation, and an instruments exhibition. World-famous scientists will be invited to give plenary and keynote lectures at the conference. Also, social program, excursion, as well as program for accompanying persons will be nicely organized.
