The XXV International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy (ICORS2016) aims to bring together experts from different fields to discuss the frontiers of Raman spectroscopy. The Conference will provide an environment for in-depth scientific discussions of Raman-based techniques, as well as for scientific exchange that ideally will seed new collaborations. For the first time in Latin America, the ICORS2016 represents an unique opportunity for the Raman community promoting the contact of world leaders in the field with young scientists and students, for face-to-face discussions. The curent edition will celebrate the 25th anniversary of this traditional and reputed Conference!
