The NIR symposium series is known as the world’s leading biannual conference on this fast growing technology.

The program will span from fundamentals of spectroscopy, over methodological and technological advances to the integration of the wide range of applications. The symposium will feature workshops, tutorials, plenary, keynote and research lectures from leading and upcoming scientists in the field.

Lectures and poster presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts to make sure that participants find ample opportunities to share and to discuss their latest findings with the audience in a stimulating atmosphere.

As an integral part of NIR2023 Innsbruck a representative exhibition of the leading vendors in the field will be organized to round up the concept of the symposium and to complement the programme.

Topics to be addressed at the NIR2023 Innsbruck Symposium
