The German Society for Mass Spectrometry (abbreviation: DGMS) emerged on July 1, 1998 from the working group on mass spectrometry (AGMS) of the Society of German Chemists eV ( GDCh ), the German Physical Society (DPG) and the Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry.
Extract from the statutes on the purpose of the association
The association promotes science and research, particularly in the field of mass spectrometry. The cooperation as well as the exchange of ideas and experiences between the scientists and practitioners working in the specialist fields should be cultivated. The interest in mass spectrometry and related techniques as well as knowledge about them should be conveyed to other specialist groups. It continues the traditions of the three above. Groups of origin continued.
For this purpose u. a.
