IASIM-2024

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

James “Jim” Burger was the co-founder, together with Paul Geladi, of what was to become the precursor of IASIM. This hyperspectral imaging meeting was held in Umeå in the winter of 2006. They were leading and enthusiastic participants in the IASIM series of conferences, where they have also contributed outstanding scientific results.

Following their enthusiasm, it is the responsibility and desire of our community to perpetuate their legacy and name. The Jim and Paul award aims to do so by highlighting the work of an outstanding early-career scientist who has made major contributions in Spectral Imaging.

Please read the award conditions and submit your recommendations before 1st of March, 2026.

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.
