It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 2nd European Meeting on Infrared Nanospectro-Imaging. The event will take place on 17–19 June 2026 at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.
Held every two years, this meeting brings together both established experts and early-career researchers to share and discuss the latest advances in sub-micrometermid-IR spectroscopy and imaging. This year, the meeting will focus mainly on photothermal effects and related approaches in the mid-IR range. The event’s goal is to strengthen the IR nanospectroscopy community, offering a unique setting for scientific exchange, informal discussions, and networking opportunities.
As an opening to the main meeting, the Tech Day, supported by Bruker, will be held on 16 June 2026.
