The Euro-Mediterranean Symposium on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (EMSLIBS) is a leading biennial scientific conference dedicated to the advancement and application of LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). Since its first edition in the early 2000s, EMSLIBS has grown into a key platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange knowledge, present breakthroughs, and foster collaborations in the rapidly evolving field of LIBS. The symposium emphasizes interdisciplinary innovation, bringing together experts in analytical chemistry, materials science, environmental monitoring, cultural heritage, and industrial diagnostics, etc.

Over the years, EMSLIBS has been hosted in several European and Mediterranean countries, reflecting its international reach and dynamic scientific community. Past editions have taken place in Egypt (Cairo, 2001), Greece (Crete ,2003), Germany (Aachen, 2005), France (Paris, 2007), Turkey (Izmir, 2011), Atrichia (Linz, 2015), Italy (Rome, 2009; Bari, 2013; Pisa, 2017), the Czech Republic (Brno, 2019), Spain (Gijón, 2021), and Portugal (Porto,2023). Each event features keynote lectures, technical sessions, poster presentations, and exhibitions, offering a comprehensive view of both theoretical and applied LIBS research. EMSLIBS continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of laser-based spectroscopy, strengthening ties between academia and industry across Europe and beyond. (website)

The 13th Edition of the Euro-Mediterranean Symposium on Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, EMSLIBS 2025 will be held between the 26th and 30th of January 2026, in Senlis, France.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to submit your work.

Our objective is to facilitate collaboration between experienced researchers and an emerging generation of students, technology developers and companies in a dynamic and engaging environment. This will enable knowledge exchange, the development of new ideas and collective contributions to the advancement of LIBS science and technology.

In accordance with the tradition of EMSLIBS, the opportunity is hereby extended for a period of five days to present the latest developments in the form of either oral or poster presentations, or to exhibit the latest products in the technical exhibition and industrial session.

We eagerly await your participation for EMSLIBS 2025!
