We sincerely thank all GeoRAMAN2024 conference participants for their enthusiasm and commitment to advancing the frontiers of Raman spectroscopy, as well as all authors who contributed their outstanding research to the JRS special issue.
We are deeply grateful to the keynote lecturers, Prof. Maria-Luce Frezzotti and Prof. Lutz Nasdala, for their inspiring presentations and to the invited speaker, Dr. Michael Mondanos, for his valuable contribution to the scientific programme. Their insights enriched the conference discussions and set a high standard for future GeoRaman meetings.
We are also deeply grateful to the members of the Scientific and Organizing Committees of GeoRaman 2024 and the volunteers for their exceptional efforts in delivering a memorable and successful conference.
We extend our special thanks to the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, the main organiser of GeoRAMAN2024, for the administrative and financial support, to our host and conference partner, the University of the Aegean, Greece, for providing an excellent venue and for their support in organising the conference and to the conference partner, the Dodecanese Chamber of Commerce, for financial support.
We thank the sponsors: the platinum sponsor, the Hellenic Public Power Corporation; the silver sponsor, Renishaw; and the bronze sponsors, Asteriadis Company, Rigas Labs, WItec Oxford, PES, Hellenic Upstreams, EYDAP, Labor Science and Applied Laboratory Solutions. Last, without the in-kind sponsors from across Greece, GeoRAMAN would have missed its taste and flavour. The 16th International GeoRAMAN Conference was co-financed by the Green Fund.
We look forward to meeting again and expanding our community at the 17th GeoRAMAN Conference in Brazil in 2026, organised by Professor Dr. Luiz Fernando Cappa de Oliveira and his vibrant team.
