| International Workshop on Beverage Alcohol Authentication
Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency / Agence des Douanes et du Revenu du Canada
In conjunction with ICASS 2003
The Laboratory and Scientific Services Directorate of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency will be hosting an international workshop on beverage alcohol analysis in conjunction with the 49th International Conference on Analytical Sciences and Spectroscopy taking place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, from June 1st to the 4th, 2003.

This workshop will consist of presentations and discussions on the most recent scientific methods and test procedures. The Laboratory and Scientific Services Directorate invites you to contribute your expertise in this field through formal presentations and active participation in round-table discussions.
The workshop will be organized and co-chaired by:
