You are cordially invited to participate in the XIIth International GeoRaman Conference to be held in Novosibirsk, June 9-15, 2016. The Conference scope covers all scientific aspects on the border where Raman spectroscopy and geology meet. This series of biennial meetings started in 1986 has a tradition of interpreting the term ‘geology’ in a broad sense, and thus it also covers archaeometry (e.g. pigment analysis), astrobiology and the analysis of biological molecules, and forensics. A non-limitative list of topics includes:
Mineralogy
Petrology
Inclusions
Fossils
Gemstones
Archaeometry
Forensics
Astrobiology I
nstrumentation
Planetology etc.

For the first time, the GeoRaman conference will be held in the Russian Federation, in the Novosibirsk Academy Town, one of the biggest Russian scientific centers where Novosibirsk State University and 35 research institutes are located.
