Welcome to the 24th Norwegian X-RAY Conference in 2026!
The aim of the Norwegian X-ray conference is to bring together industrial and academic experts and users of XRD and XRF in Scandinavia with manufacturers and suppliers of analysis instruments, preparation equipment, reference materials and other chemicals. We have a special focus on new technology and markets, specifically on handheld (HH), benchtop and on-line ED-XRF applications. We are part of the Norwegian Chemical Society (NKS). The Norwegian X-Ray Conference was first put together as a seminar in 1980 by the founder Åge Storm. It is held in Southern Norway biannually. Read more here.
