CoSMoS Home
In 2003 the non-profit Society for Small Molecule Science took shape as a volunteer-run framework created primarily to organize the CoSMoS annual conference serving a variety of interests in the small molecule analytical community. The charter required the committee, comprised of diverse experience and interests, to deliberate on an agenda each year. Simply because a conference was held the previous year was never a mandate for a succeeding year ensuring the agenda remained vital.
The CoSMoS conferences were found worthy, irreplaceable and unique and remained vital throughout a nearly 15 year history focused on the singular purpose of serving the interests of the small molecule analytical community. Ultimately when a difficult decision was made, for a variety of reasons, to disband the organization it was done with much regret.
With sincere mutual respect and thanks to all those on the committees who brought their experience and expertise that made CoSMoS the rare and unique experience it was. The archives and this website will be maintained for the remainder of 2017.
In addition to the world-class scientists who presented their work each year the following are especially noteworthy having served on the committees to create CoSMoS:
