IUMAS was founded in 1994 to promote world-wide cooperation in all aspects of microbeam analysis through the organisation of an international congress on microbeam analysis every three to four years, and by participating in joint committee's with other scientific organisations in matters relevant to microbeam analysis which are better discussed on a world scale.
