IX Encontro Brasileiro de Espectroscopia Raman
Teresina/PI - 23 a 25 de Junho, 2026.
The Conference:
The Brazilian Meeting on Raman Spectroscopy (EnBraER) was created with the aim of bringing together specialists, users, and beginners in the technique, in an environment conducive to discussions on recent developments, future perspectives, and the broader impacts of the technique.
The meeting will address both the fundamentals and applications of Raman spectroscopy, with special emphasis on spatial resolution, instrumentation, methodology, and interfaces. It will also provide an opportunity to integrate other spectroscopic techniques into the conference, such as infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, and nonlinear approaches.
