On behalf of the International Association for Spectral Imaging (IASIM), we are pleased to invite you to IASIM-2026, the ninth international conference in spectral imaging, which will take place in June 2026 in Umeå, Sweden.
Jim and Paul award
The International Association of Spectral Imaging is delighted to announce that the First Jim and Paul Award have been given to Dr. Cristina Malegori.
Apart from her outstanding contributions to Hyperspectral Imaging, especially Near Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging, Cristina is the perfect recipient of this honour. A person who keeps the spirit of Jim and Paul in her multiple lessons, seminars and eagerness to keep growing within our family and bringing other scientific families.
She will be honoured in Umea, at the IASIM-2026 meeting as she deserves. Besides, she will be in charge of giving our Plenary Lecture.
Again, congratulations to Cristina and we hope to see you all in Umeå to praise her properly.
The biannual IASIM conference is intended to provide a unified, open, cross-disciplinary and interactive forum for the exchange of information and ideas within the general spectral imaging community, regardless of the spectral or spatial range.
This conference will bring together speakers, contributors, attendees and exhibitors from a large variety of Scientific Communities (Food processing, pharmaceuticals, forensics, art, remote sensing, etc.) using a large variety of spectral imaging (microscopic, macroscopic or remote sensing) coupled to spectroscopic techniques (UV, visible, NIR, Mid-IR, Raman, etc). It will include three days of scientific sessions, with oral and poster presentations on spectral imaging research and applications. Pre-conference activities with several courses and workshops are also planned.
Technical sessions will include keynote presentations by invited speakers, contributed presentations, panel discussions from members of the imaging community, posters and exhibitors, promoting cross-talks and new ideas.
