a b s t r a c t The Sixth International Chemometrics Research Meeting (ICRM 2014) took place on 14–18 September 2014 at the Golden Tulip Val Monte in Berg en Dal near the City of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Talks included longer keynote talks with a discussant and several shorter interesting talks at the forefront of chemometrics. ICRM will return in 2017. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Since its first edition in 1994, the International Chemometrics Research Meeting (ICRM) has represented a unicum in the panorama of chemometric symposia in Europe and is becoming known as a must for chemometricians. Originally arranged in the North Brabant town of Veldhoven, The Netherlands, its underlying idea was to provide attendants with a limited number of carefully selected, wide-scope lectures that covered hot topics in chemometrics or related subjects. In this respect, the format was similar to that of Gordon Conferences, as each lecture was followed by a counter-presentation of a discussant and ample time was left for a general discussion from the floor. Even if some details have changed from previous meetings the structure and the goals have been well preserved. The 6th edition of ICRM took place on 14–18 September 2014 and was organized by the Dutch Chemometrics Society under the auspices of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society. As with the 2011 meeting [1,2], the venue was located in the beautiful framework of Golden Tulip Val Monte in Berg en Dal set in attractive wooded hills near the city of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Invited talks covered different aspects of both theoretical and applied chemometrics and extending to related disciplines: topics ranged from recent advances in robust statistics (Mia Hubert) to the description of chemometric approaches for dealing with values below the detection limits (Dennis Helsel), passing through hierarchical models for dealing with complex data sets

(Alan Gelfand), advanced regularization processes in multivariate calibration (John Kalivas), predictive and orthogonal variation in latent variable modeling (Olav Kvalheim), identification of common and distinctive block features in data fusion (Iven Van Mechelen) and synergy of target and anomaly detection in hyperspectral imaging (Neal Gallagher). Keynote talks were accompanied by discussants that fostered for in depth and lively discussion. The scientific program was completed by two poster sessions and, following a tradition inaugurated in ICRM2011, by six additional contributed talks, which also stimulated active discussions, covering topics such as local PLS-DA based classification (Federico Marini), use of kernel PLS-DA and pseudo-sample approach for fault diagnosis in process monitoring (Raffaele Vitale), Bayesian approaches for automated chromatographic data treatment (Gabriel Vivo Truyols), application of chemometrics to clinical systems biology studies (Robert van den Berg), interpretation of PLS through basic sequence (Lionel Blanchet) and a theoretical framework for Horn's parallel analysis (Edoardo Saccenti). A meeting plus was that talks were held in a single room involving all participants with an un-crowded schedule that allowed for a great deal of interaction. This included occasions to talk with one another at lunch, on walks in the surrounding forest, a quick visit to the city or a beer on the terrace for an informal chat to foster research progress or future collaboration. Together with these more or less self-arranged activities, there were also an officially planned social trip and dinner. This included a visit to the open air museum, where it was possible to admire reconstructions of historic fragments of everyday life in The Netherlands accompanied by a rich and delicious afternoon tea, and a splendid dinner at Jachtslot de Mookerheide, a hunting castle turned gourmet restaurant in the surroundings of Nijmegen.

The conference chairs Paul Eilers and Jeroen Jansen and the organizing committee saw to every detail in the technical and social programs, and included timely travel information and updates. In general, it was an amazing conference and we truly look forward to the next edition planned for 2017. Conflict of interest There is no conflict of interest.
