As you already know if you are following us on twitter, the XXXVIII Colloquium Spectroscopicum Internationale was held on June 17 – 21, 2012 in Tromso, Norway. The conference was chaired by Yngvar Thomassen, and counted with more than 200 participants who travel to the Far North to enjoy the land of the midnight sun. Several members of the JAAS Boards attended the conference and presented their latest works, including Martín Resano, Steven Ray, María Montes-Bayón, José Broekaert and Detlef Günther.
In addition, during the conference, the CSI Award for life achievement in Spectrochemistry was presented and the winner was JAAS Advisory Board Member Ramon Barnes. The Award was presented by Gary Hieftje. Congratulations, Ramon!
If you attended the conference and want to submit a paper, keep in mind that several RSC Journals (Analytical Methods/Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts/RSC Advances) will draw together a Themed Issue in electronic form.
