Mission
The Taiwan International Symposium on Raman Spectroscopy (TISRS), together with the TARS Summer Camp, aims to present and discuss recent advances in Raman spectroscopy, optical imaging, and their applications in molecular science, biology, and nanotechnology. As a core activity of the Taiwan Association of Raman Spectroscopy (TARS), the symposium serves as a platform for both local and international researchers to exchange ideas and share the latest developments in their respective fields.
The scope of the symposium is broad and interdisciplinary, covering topics ranging from fundamental molecular spectroscopy to advanced materials and biomedical applications. Scientific topics include:
Linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy
Surface- and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS & TERS)
Ultrafast and time-resolved spectroscopy
Raman microscopy and biomedical/chemical imaging applications
Coherent Raman spectroscopy and advanced spectroscopic techniques
Spectroscopy of low-dimensional and quantum materials
Development of novel Raman and optical spectroscopic methodologies
AI-assisted spectroscopy and data analysis
Theoretical approaches and modeling
Applications in materials science and device physics
Emerging optical spectroscopy techniques
While these areas form the primary focus, researchers from related disciplines are strongly encouraged to participate, further broadening the scope and impact of the symposium. The event is designed to foster meaningful scientific exchange and promote interdisciplinary collaboration.
Each year, the organizing committee invites distinguished international and domestic researchers to deliver plenary and invited talks. In addition, poster sessions provide opportunities for students and early-career researchers to present their work, exchange ideas, and engage in discussions with leading scientists. Selected contributions may also be featured in short oral presentations at the TARS Summer Camp.
Through these activities, TISRS and the TARS Summer Camp aim to strengthen connections among Raman researchers in Taiwan and worldwide, promote cross-disciplinary collaboration, and cultivate the next generation of scientists. By integrating research, education, and international exchange, the symposium continues to advance the development and application of Raman spectroscopy and related optical techniques.
