Scope
The scope of the Congress is to encourage the exchange of ideas and the collaboration among people interested in molecular spectroscopy, to help in the identification of new trends and in the definition of future objectives. All aspects of spectroscopic methods and techniques (including applications), as well as computational and theoretical approaches for the investigation of structure, dynamics and properties of molecular systems will be discussed.
The Congress will be held in Florence (Italy) in the period 29 August - 3 September 2010.
Scientific Program
The program will consist of plenary and invited lectures and poster sessions. The plenary lectures will provide state-of-the-art reviews in new and developing areas of molecular spectroscopy. Contributed papers are invited from all areas of molecular spectroscopy.
