About IPSW
IPSW aim to attract a diverse audience from experts in the passive sampling development and application technologies to new users becoming more familiar with the PS advantages. All together working to advance the science behind PS and increase the use of PS approaches to meet risk assessment, policy, and regulatory needs. The IPSW platform has transformed from a local event into an internationally recognised platform of experts in the PS field.
With the continued maturation of passive sampling, this meeting will provide opportunities to share knowledge and experiences related to specific practical applications of these tools, novel uses, regulatory acceptance, and future directions of development.
14th International Passive Sampling Symphosium and Workshop
The IPSW 2024 hybrid conference in Limoges is over. We thank all participants for their active approach, great contributions, and discussions. We believe that 14th IPSW contributes to the increasing development of passive sampling in the so important water and the environment protection worldwide.
We are looking forward to you in the next IPSW conferences. In Europe we are planning the next meeting in Prague in 2026.

IPSW in the USA
Due to unexpected reasons, we had decided to postpone IPSW in the US from 2023 to early 2025. We will continue with the format: one year in Europe, second year in the US. The venue in the US will be specified later, one possibility is San Diego, California.
Topics
The programme will be assigned to the following key topics reflecting the development and application of passive samplers in air, sediment/soil and water:
- Hydrophobic compounds
- Hydrophilic compounds
- Volatile and semi-volatile compounds
- Metals, inorganic compounds
- Development of novel passive sampling devices
- Environmental applications and monitoring with passive samplers
- Toxicity assessment based on passive sampling methods
- Key aspects for QA/QC, accreditation, data treatment and interpretation
- Environmental policies and strategies for implementation of passive samplers
Do not hesitate to contact us for any proposal for additional workshop topics.
Hybrid structure
- On-site – oral presentations and posters
- Online – presentation recording+book of abstracts. Detailed conditions will be specified at the second announcement according to the registered participants number.
