Dear colleagues,

We take great pleasure in announcing that Alicante will host the XXV National Spectroscopy Meeting (XXV RNE) - IX Iberian Spectroscopy Conference (IX CIE) between the 20th and 22nd of July, 2016.

Alicante, known by the Romans as Lucentum, or “City of Light”, offers an unparalleled combination of liveliness and generosity. It is a carefully planned city, both hospitable and full of surprises as one walks down its streets, with parks and emblematic buildings wherever you go. Alicante has a gentle climate, with mild temperatures and many hours or sunlight, which we hope you will enjoy during the days you spend here with us.

Our main objective is to attain the levels of excellence seen at the previous biennial RNE-CIE meetings. We are therefore preparing for this important scientific event with great effort and dedication, with a view to ensuring a first-rate scientific programme showcasing the latest research and trends in spectroscopy.

The official programme will include plenary and guest papers read by renowned experts on the subject; oral presentations on both fundamental and applied spectroscopy, bringing us up to date on the latest advances and trends in the field; and poster display sessions by our young researchers, who represent the future of this scientific discipline. In addition, the XXV RNE – IX CIE will feature the no less important participation of companies specialising in this field, in a technical and trade exhibition bringing to attendees the major technological innovations placed at the service of spectroscopy by the exhibitor companies. Participants will also have the opportunity of exchanging views with the professionals of these companies on all those aspects having such a major impact on our activity. The social events rounding off the programme will promote informal discussion between attendees, as well as allowing them to enjoy the delicious food and the cultural and leisure activities that our city has to offer.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to attend and participate, and trust that this event will be of the highest scientific and human value, full of content, vibrancy and participation, fulfilling your every expectation. We look forward to seeing you all in Alicante.
