18. 8 th Iranian workshop of Chemometrics 7-9 February 2009 Is there a future for Chemometrics? Editorial, Chemom. Intell. Lab. Syst., 91 (2008) 99-100  Most of the pioneers of Chemometrics have retired or have passed away  All of the original goals of Chemometrics have been reached  Chemometrics is in danger of being absorbed by *omics  Lack of interest in the physical sciences for the last decade

19. 8 th Iranian workshop of Chemometrics 7-9 February 2009 What can we do to increase the popularity of Chemometrics?  Explain the past of the Chemometrics and its achievement to newcomers  Reevaluate the Chemometrics curriculum These could be done in the format of sort introductions, holding workshops and brainstorming sessions
