We are pleased to annouced next year's ECONOS, which will be hosted by the Friedrich- Schiller-Universität Jena in Berlin

Sunday, 29 March 2026 - Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

ECONOS 2026 will focus on recent advances in nonlinear and coherent vibrational spectroscopy in complex and functional environments, including combustion and reacting flows, catalytic and electrochemical interfaces, and biological and cellular systems. Building on the strong and historically central role of combustion diagnostics within the ECONOS community, this edition intentionally broadens the scope toward interfacial, heterogeneous, and living systems. The goal is to bring together method developers, application scientists, and metrology experts to advance quantitative, comparable, and physically grounded spectroscopic measurements across disciplines

The invited speaker list is evolving — the following colleagues have already confirmed their participation:

Dr. Alexis Bohlin, GKN Aerospace Sweden AB

Prof. Christian Eggeling, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena

Prof. Robert Lucht, Purdue University

Prof. Nathalie Picqué, Max-Born-Institut Berlin

Prof. Michael Schmitt, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena

  • About ECONOS

    The European Conference on Non-linear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) emerged in 2002 to widen the agenda of the former annual European CARS (Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering) workshops to cover all forms of nonlinear optical spectroscopy, theoretical and experimental studies, and applications.
    Topics include, but are not limited to, CARS, and other forms of coherent scattering, applications of high-order responses in the time and frequency domains. Applications deal with diagnostics in reacting flows, microscopy of biological samples, materials, nano-objects and other media. Developments also deal with novel lasers sources, and study of other spectral signatures such as LITG, SERS, SRS, TALIF etc... in different media.

    ECONOS in general provides a platform for scientific exchange between physicists, chemists, engineers, material scientists, biologists, biomedical scientists and industry representatives and is intended to provide participants with new impulses for their own research. At the same time, the bridge to translation into application and marketing, e.g. in the field of new diagnostic and biomedical approaches is established.
