It is our great pleasure to cordially invite you to participate in the International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR 2023 Innsbruck), which will be held from Sunday through Thursday, August 20-24, 2023, at the Congress Innsbruck, Austria.

The NIR symposium series is known as the world’s leading biannual conference on this fast growing technology which usually attracts well over 500 participants.

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.

2023 will be the first time that the NIR symposium series will come to Austria and Innsbruck, the capital city of the county of Tyrol, in the heart of the Alps. It is world famous for its location, it is a hot spot for science, tradition, culture and sports. After the pandemic, we can’t wait to meet in person once again. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Innsbruck, Austria.

“Good Vibrations, Smooth Contours!” is our motto symbolizing the location and the emulation of science, stimulating atmosphere and personal contacts.

Very much looking forward to welcoming you in Innsbruck, we remain with best regards. Christian W. Huck - chairperson
