WITec’s 15^th annual Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium will take place on September 24–26 in Ulm, Germany. At the event, chemical characterization and imaging members of the Raman microscopy community share recent developments, and discuss the finer points of Raman microscopy.

The symposium is a forum for scientists from academia and industry of various levels of experience and areas of application. The conference schedule includes talks, poster sessions, instrument demonstrations, and social events designed to foster the transfer of knowledge and experience between the attendees.

Sessions on nanotechnology and low-dimensional materials, geosciences, materials sciences, life sciences, and pharmaceutical analysis will provide an overview of Raman microscopy applications. Attendees will also see extensive coverage of the latest developments in Raman instrumentation and technology.

In a Monday evening lecture, German physicist and science comedian Vince Ebert will offer a humorous look at science with a talk titled “Randomly Successful–The World is Not Predictable.”
