International Society for Plant Spectroscopy
Promoting Exchange
Welcome
The International Society is a non-profit organisation founded to provide a framework for the exchange of knowledge within the multidisciplinary field of plant spectroscopy, bringing spectroscopy to plant scientists and plant sciences to spectroscopists.
We aim to promote student exchange, common projects utilising expertise and instrumentation among plant spectroscopists. We also hope to increase the knowledge bank by organising or promoting meetings, sharing articles, tools and expertise. Last, but not least, we aim to raise general awarness to this exciting field of research among the wider public via popular scientific articles and lectures.
Organisation
Administrative and decision making duties and rights within the society are held by the Board, lead by the Head. Information regarding membership is given on the Members page.
Mission
- Promote collaboration among plant spectroscopists
- Promote exchange of knowledge within the parent disciplines
- Make the field more accessible to a wider public
Activities
A list ongoing and upcoming activites, including open positions, projects and meetings is given below. We strongly encourage you to post any relevant activity here (upcoming conferences, postdoc or PhD positions, new instrumentation available, etc) by emailing the Board.
Promotion of publications, however, is done under the Knowledge Bank menu.
Our own conferences are listed under the Conference menu.
Postdoctoral position
