To extend the knowledge, understanding and application of all aspects of atomic spectroscopy within analytical chemistry; and to encourage and assist all scientists, irrespective of experience, actively engaged in this analytical field.

• membership of just under 400; national and international scientists, researchers and academics
• organisers national and international conferences, eg three day meeting entitled Biennial National Atomic Spectroscopy Symposium (BNASS), which is held in different parts of the country every two years
• offers travel bursaries
