Join the Conference long as it is available

We have successfully conducted the FCS XIV conference
from 09 to 15 December 2023

National Workshop on Fluorescence and Raman Spectroscopy
(FCS XIV)

The FCS series of workshops were conceived as a unique way to teach the most complex modern instrumentations in the area of Fluorescence and Raman Spectroscopy to the practising scientists and Ph.D. students in India. The original workshop was started with funding from the Govt. of India (Dept. of Electronics and Information Technology) in 2009, through a grant to Prof. Sudipta Maiti, Tata Institute ofFundamental Research, India (with Prof. Sivaprasad Mitra, NEHU,Shillong, as co-investigator). Till 2012, this workshop was supported by this grant.

There was a tremendous positive response from the community, and a need was felt by the community to continue the series beyond the Government-sponsored period. From 2013 onwards, the workshop was self-supported (with sponsorships from many industry bodies), and organized through a newly formed society (Fluorescence Society, www.florescenceindia.org) and also with help from the Tata Instituteof Fundamental Research (www.tifr.res.in), and a local host institute.The goal of the society was not only to continue the series, but also to expand the activities by holding smaller workshops, and providing awards and fellowships to students to enable them to present their work at various fora in India and abroad.

This year, FCSXIV, the 14th National Workshop on Fluorescence and Raman Spectroscopy is organized jointly by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali (IISER Mohali) and Institute of Nanoscience and Technology (INST) from December 9 to December 14, 2023 at Mohali, Punjab, India. The workshop has two components: First, a teaching workshop from December 9 – 11, 2023 to trainresearch students and young faculty colleagues on advanced techniques on Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Super-resolution microscopy, Time-Resolved FluorescenceSpectroscopy, and Ultrafast Techniques. This part also includes hands-on sessions where participantsacquire real data using the techniques they learn. The second component is a conference (from Dec 12 - 14, 2023) will show case the science performed with the help of these techniques. Experts in the related area are invited to deliver a research talk.
