Conference Office

VAHS is pleased to announce that the registration for its 8^th International Conference is now open. This is a ‘boutique’ conference which will take place over two days rather than the traditional three. It recognises the current economic crisis, particularly in higher education, which has undermined voluntary action researchers’ capacity to participate in conferences such as ours. This year we offer registration fees scaled down to reflect the shorter duration of the conference, and we are also offering a number of bursaries to assist those who might not be able to present papers without help.

Our conference will – as always – provide an opportunity for researchers from different backgrounds, different disciplines and different countries to share knowledge of sources, methodologies and findings of research on voluntary action. It will also provide an opportunity for socialising with other delegates in an open and friendly environment.

Non-Members:  If you wish to join VAHS go to

This will mean you are eligible for the reduced members' rates for the conference.

Rates increase by £30 after 1st June 2025.

Description

We are delighted to invite attendees to register for the post-BSPR2025 conference workshop on Single-Cell Proteomics, at the University of Liverpool, 10-11^th July 2025.

Together with Cellenion, we will be providing a hands-on demonstration of the nPOP workflow for label-free or multiplexed single-cell proteomics on the cellenONE instrument. We will also cover experimental design, system suitability and optimisation, acquisition methods, and will be joined by Christophe Vanderaa, the lead developer of the Bioconductor SCP package who will demonstrate data analysis for single-cell proteomics in R.

Prior knowledge of R is helpful, but is not required for this workshop. Applicants should have hands-on experience with LC-MS/MS.

Places on the workshop are limited to a maximum of 20 participants. Course acceptance will be prioritised based on i) order of application, ii) availability of suitable instrumentation in the attendees lab (current or planned, and the timescale for this).

Conference Dinner will take place on Thursday 28^th August 2025.  

Bookings close on 2^nd July 2025
