The Working Group Chemometrics & Quality Control was founded in 1991 under the name working group chemometrics & laboratory data processing by merging the Working Group chemometrics of the chemical society of the GDR and the GDCh working group laboratory automation and data processing. In accordance with the focus of these two groups, the working group of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry wants to combine the acquisition of data in the laboratory with their statistical evaluation, plausibility control and corresponding quality control as good analytical practice. Therefore, analysts who collect a lot of data in the laboratory in stationary analysis and in dynamic processes and also process it further should feel particularly addressed. The working group is also interested in the application of univariate and multivariate methods of data analysis, methods for classification and pattern recognition as well as the Management of "big data" and their integration into the analytical process.
The working group is present at national and international Conferences or is responsible for organizing them. In addition, the working group successfully participates in the analytica conference. Last but not least, aspects of the working group are regularly reflected in lectures at ANAKON. Due to the constantly increasing number and complexity of chemometrics methods, the working group has set itself the goal of developing guidelines for the practical use of chemometric methods.

The GDCh, the Euro- chemometrics CS network and the knowledge transfer of the University of Tübingen (WIT), the House of Technology in Essen and other organizers (especially Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Bergakademie TU Freiberg) continue to address these questions - and further education courses or lectures are offered.
In a letter dated October 9, 2023, we informed you of the candidates proposed by the incumbent Board of the chemometrics & quality control working group for the upcoming board election. No further suggestions were submitted from members. Accordingly, the election of the board will be carried out with the following people, all of whom have agreed to their candidacy:
| Surname | Electoral status | |
Chemometrix GmbH, Wölfersheim | Re-election | |
Mannheim University | New election | |
Senorics GmbH, Dresden | New election | |
Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin | Re-election | |
| Prof. Dr. Stephan Seifert | University of Hamburg | New election |
According to the working group's Working Guidelines , the Board consists of a maximum of four members (1x Chair, 1x Deputy Chair, 1x secretary or additional deputy, 1x advisory board), each of whom is elected for a period of four years. This means that there are five people available for the four new board positions to be filled. The functions of Chair and Deputy Chair and, if necessary, secretary are determined after the election by the elected Board .
All working group members who have provided an email address with the GDCh will receive a link to vote online on Monday, November 6th, 2023. All other members receive the voting documents by post.
The election results will be announced on the working group's website, in the membership magazine and in the Nachrichten aus der Chemie.
