A symposium celebrating 50-years of Atomic Spectroscopy in The Netherlands was held on June 7 2012 in Tilburg (The Netherlands). The conference was organized by the Atomic Spectroscopy Working Group (WAS), chaired by JAAS Advisory board member Prof. Margaretha de Loos-Vollebregt, following the success of previous events (e.g., 40 and 45-year celebrations). 130 attendees from the academia and the industry gathered in the nice venue selected for the occasion (Villa de Vier Jaargetijden in Tilburg), where the Invited Speakers Jean-Michel Mermet, Martín Resano, Leo de Galan, Jochen Vogl, Michael Sperling, Ralph Sturgeon and Joris Dik presented their latest work. You can find some recent examples of these authors’ work below.

Great to see that Atomic Spectroscopy is still in very good shape in The Netherlands!
