Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the 25th Colloquium on High-Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy that will be held August 20 - 25, 2017 in Helsinki, Finland. In the tradition of this meeting, the focus will be on high-resolution molecular spectroscopy including applications of spectroscopy to chemical reactions, biochemical problems, atmospheric science, interstellar medium, extremely cold conditions etc.
The conference will coincide with the centennial year of the independent Republic of Finland. It will be arranged at the same time as the Helsinki Festival, which is the largest arts event in Finland. Note that Finland is in the third place on the list of top countries of Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2017.
Please bring your family with you as we shall arrange an entertaining accompanying person program.
