A Message from the Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Society of Chemistry The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) promotes, supports and celebrates chemistry. We work to shape the future of the chemical sciences – for the benefit of science and humanity. This year we are, once again delighted to co-sponsor the Tokyo International Conference 2023, together with the Japanese Analytical Instrument Manufacturers’ Association (JAIMA). Analytical chemistry is becoming increasingly inter-disciplinary and contributes to many diverse scientific fields and industries. This year’s theme “ Data processing and the use of smartphones for analytical chemistry ” reflects this, showcasing how data processing and data- driven approaches can be used to solve every day scientific problems, with trends towards automation and machine learning becoming increasingly popular. Now in its twelfth year, we are proud to bring together leading scientists to further research in this important area. We are also pleased to have the opportunity to recognise talented early career researchers, through the awarding of poster prizes on behalf of our internationally- recognised analytical chemistry journals, including Analyst , Analytical Methods, Lab on a Chip, Sensors & Diagnostics, as well as one of our newest Open Access journals , Digital Discovery. I would like to thank all the speakers and participants for their contributions to this symposium and hope that this event presents an opportunity to share knowledge, spark ideas and create new collaborations. Finally, we are grateful to the JAIMA for their help in organising this event, and we look forward to continuing our close partnership in the future. I wish you all an informative, productive and enjoyable symposium.
