The goal of this conference is to provide a platform to exchange ideas and promote collaborations within the community of young computational and experimental researchers (especially PhD students, Post-Docs, Assistant Professors) who have already provided significant contributions to the broad field of molecular spectroscopy.



This event is especially intended for the next generation of spectroscopists who are the “future” in using, developing and advancing the new tools and instruments becoming available nowadays thanks to new technological advancements (cutting-edge experimental spectroscopic instruments, state-of-the-art computational techniques, new-frontier land-based, air- and space-borne telescopes, intelligent data analysis).



Young researchers meet molecular spectroscopy could be organized thanks to the financial support of Scuola Normale Superiore
