The Foundation operates the International Mass Spectrometry Society, which sponsors the International Mass Spectrometry Conference that is held once every three years.
Aims
The IMSF has four aims: 1) organizing international conferences and workshops in mass spectrometry, 2) improving mass spectrometry education, 3) standardizing terminology in the field, and 4) aiding in the dissemination of mass spectrometry through publications.
Conferences
The first International Mass Spectrometry Conference was held in London in 1958 and 41 papers were presented. Since then, conferences have been held every three years as indicated below.[ cite journal|title=International Mass Spectrometry Society (IMSS)|journal=J. Mass Spectrom|date=2001|first=R.
