Dear Colleagues and Friends,

  It is our pleasure to announce that the XXVIth Galyna Puchkovska International School Seminar "Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals" (ISSSMC-2024) will take place on September 22-25, 2024, in Wojanow Palace, Poland.

  We are organizing the ISSSMC-2024 conference in honor of the late Prof. Galyna Puchkovska (1934-2010), a famous Ukrainian physicists, and world-known spectroscopist who was the founder and the soul of this meeting. Many years she was the chair of ISSSMC conferences, a great friend, and well-respected colleague in our community. She had a big influence on the life of her close friends and colleagues. She will not be ever forgotten.

  Because of the Russian invasion to Ukraine, the XXVI ISSSMC that was initially planned for 2023 was moved to 2024. Since the war, unfortunately, continues, we are well aware that in this dangerous situation many colleagues are avoiding travel to Ukraine. As the organizers of ISSSMC conferences, we always consider the direct interaction between our participants as the most attracting feature of our meetings, and therefore trying to reduce the risks of traveling to Ukraine for potential participants, we have gladly agreed with the kind proposal of our Polish colleagues to organize ISSSMC-2024 in the frame of the XVIIth International Conference on Molecular Spectroscopy (XVIIth ICMS) which will be held in Poland, on 22-25 September in Wojanow Palace (120 km from Wroclaw). Like many other conferences nowadays, the XVIIth ICMS conference more likely will be held in a hybrid format. The sessions of XVIIth ICMS and ISSSMC-2024 will be held independently, with the attendance of the participants from the two scientific events.

  For any further detail you are kindly referred to the web page of ICMS-2024.

 

  With kind regards, 

XXVI ISSSMC Organizing Committee
