A bit of history
The SEEM is a society constituted to agglutinate the interests and to facilitate the communication of all those persons related to the mass spectrometry in all its aspects, organic, inorganic and biological.
Origins
The project to initiate a grouping of people related to the mass spectrometry reflects the increasing importance acquired by these techniques in our country as well as the necessity within the framework to join our international projection in the 15th International Conference of Mass Spectrometry that was celebrated in Barcelona in August 2000. In this sense, in the annual meeting of the Group of Chromatography and Related Technologies (GCTA) of the Real Spanish Society of Chemistry celebrated in Granada in October 1992, the local Group of mass spectrometry of Barcelona was created. This group celebrated his first meeting the 13th of December 1993 in Barcelona announced by Dr Damiá Barceló and Dr. Emilio Gelpí and under the sponsorship of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Fisons Instruments, Varian and the GCTA. This one was the first of five concurred meetings in which we could check the good level reached by different work groups in this technique. In March of 1997, Dr Gelpí distributed, through Fisons Instruments and Hewlett-Packard, a form successfully obtaining information and opinions to the interested ones in mass spectrometry. With the received information the possibility was stated formally of raising the constitution of a Spanish Society of Mass Spectrometry, and for that, a meeting within the framework of the V Meeting of Mass Spectrometry summoned by Dra. Mª Teresa Galcerán and Dr Emilio Gelpí, that took place the 26th of October 1998 in the Research and Development Center of the CSIC in Barcelona. It is possible to emphasize here like the one of the landmarks of importance in the history of the SEEM, the creation of a Thematic Network of mass spectrometry promoted by Dra. Mª Teresa Galcerán within the call of aids for thematic networks of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
