The European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (EWCPS) is a series of conferences on Plasma Spectrochemistry. The conference's objective is to bring together plasma spectrochemists from all over the world in one European location to stimulate contacts and exchange knowledge and experiences. Plasma spectrochemistry involves analytical methods such as ICP-MS, GD-MS, ICP-AES, DCP-AES, MIP-AES, LIBS or LAMIS.

The first EWCPS took place in Leysin, Switzerland, in 1985, and the 20^th event of this series will be the EWCPS 2025 in Berlin, Germany. The complete list of the EWCPS meetings and their chairpersons is given below:
