Abstract
The VAMAS project on surface chemical analysis is a multi‐national cooperation for the provision of standards data and materials for surface chemical analysis measurement and for the provision of the basic understanding necessary for these activities. This project is one of a rapidly growing suite of projects initiated as a result of decisions following the 1982 Versailles Summit Meeting of the Heads of State or Government of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, USA and the representatives of the Commission of the European Communities. During the past year national representatives to this VAMAS project have been appointed and national committees established. This article summarizes the philosophy, scope, and organization of the project and describes specific activities that have been initiated. Information is given on how individuals, both within and outside the group of member states, may participate.Keywords
