10th Biennial International Conference of the Infrared and Raman Users Group (3/28/2012
- 3/31/2012) 
International Conference organised by: The Infrared and Raman Users' Group Place: Barcelona, ES
Address: University of Barcelona,Faculty of Chemistry, Dept. Analytical Chemistry
The Infrared and Raman Users' Group (IRUG) provides a forum for
the exchange of infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopic information,
reference spectra and materials. Its biennial conferences offer a
unique opportunity to share scientific results and new developments
in the application of IR and Raman spectroscopy to the study and
conservation of the world's cultural heritage. Conference attendees
are typically scientists, conservators, restorers, curators, as
well as students within the art conservation and historic
preservation fields, who apply IR and Raman spectroscopy to the
analysis of art and archeological materials.
The 10th international IRUG conference (IRUG10) will be hosted by
the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of
Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain in March 2012. Delegates from
universities and museums throughout the world are encouraged to
attend to share their experiences in the spectroscopic analysis of
cultural heritage materials.
Main Topics
- Vibrational spectroscopy for characterization of materials in art
and archaeology
- Instrumental development on IR and Raman spectroscopy
- Non-invasive analysis of works of art and archaeology
- Degradation analysis by vibrational spectroscopy
- Database of cultural materials
Registration indicating interest: July 2011. Second announcement:
September 2011.
Abstract submission deadline: October 2011
