The International Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Establish in 1986 to promote the advance of NIR technology


Promoting the science and application of NIR throughout the world

The International Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy is the global organisation which has as its goals encouraging the development of technical knowledge and practical applications of this spectroscopic technique, widespread dissemination of such knowledge and applications throughout the world and the generation and promulgation of appropriate educational tools for educators.
It aims to achieve these goals through its sponsorship of the biennal International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy and via its associated publications (Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy and NIR news). This website is a new, evolving tool for achieving the dissemination and education goals.

15TH INTERNATIONAL DIFFUSE REFLECTANCE CONFERENCE
The Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy (CNIRS) invites all interested parties to attend the 15th International Diffuse Reflectance Conference, July 31 - August 6, 2010, at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, USA. This biannual event attracts scientists, engineers, managers, and other technically oriented people from academia, government, and private industry, all having an interest in the subject of light-matter (visible, near-, and mid-IR) interaction in scattering and absorbing media. Commonly known as the "Chambersburg" Conference, this meeting is in its 27th year of operation. If you are a first time comer, welcome! — you will find this conference to be informative, economical, and pleasant. If you are a returning participant, you already have a very good idea of the value of this meeting — welcome back! Loads of information, highly respected peers of the near-infrared spectroscopy community, informal and relaxing environment — this is a conference to wholeheartedly consider in your summer plans.

12TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CHEMOMETRICS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
After the successful 11th CAC meeting in Montpellier (France) in 2008 the CAC Permanent Committee members, Prof. Piet Van Espen, University of Antwerp, Prof. Lutgarde Buydens, Radboud University Nijmegen, Prof. Yvan Vander Heyden, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Dr. Bernard Vandeginste, would like to welcome you at CAC-2010 in Antwerp. Following the tradition of the preceding CAC conferences emphasis will be on new developments and applications of chemometrics in analytical chemistry and other branches of chemistry. We hope to provide you with an interesting scientific programme and to organize a conference that will stimulate the exchange and collaboration between chemometricians and analytical chemists. Your active participation and contributions are highly appreciated.

IASIM-10
The International Association for Spectral Imaging invites you to Dublin for IASIM-10, a conference on spectral imaging. IASIM provides a single forum for the European spectral imaging community regardless of the spectral (ultraviolet, visible, near, mid or far infrared) or spatial range (microscopic, macroscopic, remote sensing) of images. Continuing in the spirit and focus of EASIM-09, this conference welcomes submissions from imaging researchers in all fields and will strive to explore commonalities across platforms and applications. Given the different development stages of various imaging techniques, cross-fertilisation of ideas and exchange of experience with mathematical exploration techniques will form the bedrock of this third conference.

15TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
The 15th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy will take place from 13-20 May 2011, hosted by the Rainbow Nation, South Africa. This is the first time ever that the ICNIRS will be hosted on the African continent. We trust the 15th ICNIRS will be attended by approximately 400 delegates from all over the world, comprising manufacturers of NIR equipment, developers of software packages, scientists from all areas of research where NIR spectroscopy is actively applied, as well as users of NIR spectroscopy from various industries such as agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.
