Info
The 10th IUTA AnalytikTag focuses on the transformative potential of self-driving laboratories, advanced automation, and data-driven analytical workflows. As modern research environments increasingly integrate robotics, autonomous experimentation, and AI-supported decision making, analytical science is entering a new era of efficiency, reproducibility, and insight generation. This year’s meeting highlights emerging technologies that enable closed-loop experimentation, smart sensor integration, and automated data interpretation, laying the groundwork for faster discovery cycles and more sustainable laboratory operations. Through presentations, demonstrations, and expert discussions, the AnalytikTag offers a comprehensive overview of how automation and intelligent data processing are reshaping analytical practice and opening new pathways for innovation across industry and research.
