SLAS Strategic Alliances

SLAS welcomes opportunities to explore and develop mutually beneficial cross-promotional projects and ongoing initiatives with corporate, academic and government organizations, and strategically aligned scientific societies. These collaborative agreements work to cooperatively further the SLAS mission and strategic goals.They take different shapes and forms; and may involve (but are not limited to) education programs, student training and/or reciprocal marketing activities. For example, the Analytical , Life Science & Diagnostics Association (ALDA) and the Laboratory Products Association (LPA) hosted their own breakfast and/or committee meetings while at SLAS2012 in San Diego. For a list of 2012-2013 SLAS Strategic Alliance partners, see the bottom of this page.
