End: 28 March 2019 | 1 p.m.

at Henry Ford Building of Freie Universität Berlin (see: Conference venue at website)

The conference aims to bring together internationally renowned spectroscopists and plant scientists. The meeting will gather scientists from fundamental to applied research and will highlight applications from academia to industry. New developments in various fields of spectroscopy and their application in plant sciences will be presented and discussed.
