Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering – SERS: Faraday Discussion

31 Oct 2016

The Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) Faraday Discussion will take place 30 August – 1 September 2017 in Glasgow, UK.

This meeting aims to set the agenda for the SERS field for the next 10 years, by bringing the community together to welcome in new emerging priority areas and embracing the diversity of approaches and disciplines which are contributing to the growth and understanding of this optical phenomenon, especially in light of new theoretical and experimental data. It follows the highly successful Faraday Discussion on SERS in 2005, which mainly focused on the origin of the enhancement and the mechanisms behind this using the information available at that time.

Faraday Discussions have a special format where research papers written by the speakers are distributed to all participants before the meeting, and most of the meeting is devoted to discussing the papers. Everyone contributes to the discussion – including presenting their own relevant research. The research papers and a record of the discussion are published in the journal Faraday Discussions.

You can register for the event here.

Submit your oral/paper abstract by 12 December 2016, the final paper submission deadline is 10 April 2017.

Submit your poster abstract by 19 June 2017.

You can check out the Frequently Asked Questions about the format of Faraday Discussions here.

Why not check out the recently published SERS themed issue in Analyst dedicated to showcasing the latest research in this exciting area of analytical chemistry.

Hope to see you there!

Patrick Hayes awarded the Emerging Investigator Lectureship

This lectureship was launched as a platform for an early career analytical scientist to raise the profile of the analytical sciences to the wider scientific community and general public. The candidates were asked to submit an original essay of no more than 1000 words highlighting the significant and wide-reaching impact on scientific and societal issues related to this year’s theme of health in the analytical sciences. The awardee receives up to £2000 contribution towards travel and accommodation costs to attend and present a lecture based on their research at a leading international meeting. Their essay will also be published as a Perspective article in Analyst.

The Chair of Analyst, Professor Duncan Graham (University of Strathclyde), was also awarded the RSC Theophilus Redwood Award 2016. The Theophilus Redwood Award is given to a leading analytical scientist who is also an outstanding communicator and is awarded to Duncan for innovation and leadership in exploiting surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy in the analytical community.
