  • Surface and Thin-Film Characterization
  • Atomic and Molecular Mass Spectrometry
  • Hyphenated Techniques (LC-MS, GC-MS, CE-MS, etc.)
  • Imaging Techniques
  • Isotopic and Elemental Analysis
  • Electroanalysis and Electrochemical Techniques
  • Bioelectrochemistry and Biomedical Applications
  • Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors
  • Spectroscopy-Based Sensors
  • Chromatography and Separation Technologies
  • Extraction, Pre-concentration and Sample-Preparation Strategies
  • Micro-/Nano-fluidic Systems and Automation
  • Environmental Analysis
  • Food Analysis
  • Forensic Analysis and Toxicology
  • Pharmaceutical Analysis and Biosimilarity
  • Chemometrics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine-Learning-Enabled Spectral Data Analysis
  • Multi-Omics Approaches
  • Qualitative and Quantitative Spectroscopic Applications
  • Biomarker Discovery in Clinical Research
 
This year, state-of-the-art spectroscopic methodologies, advanced analytical strategies, green chemistry and AI/ML-driven applications will serve as one of the central themes of the congress.

In three days, the event will feature keynote lectures by leading scientists, selected oral and poster presentations, technology sessions and industrial exhibits designed to strengthen university–industry partnerships, as well as a range of social activities. To encourage the participation of early-career researchers, Best Oral Presentation and Best Poster awards will be conferred.

It will be our honor to host you at Hacettepe University, renowned for its academic tradition and technological infrastructure, in the capital city of Türkiye. We look forward to meeting you in Ankara from 7 to 9 May 2026, to discuss ideas that will shape the future of modern spectroscopy and to lay the foundation for new collaborations.

Sincerely,
