FLAIR 2024 will be the 8th edition of the international conference series Field Laser Applications in Industry and Research, initiated in 2007 by Francesco D'Amato and Peter Werle. It aims to bring together researchers from both industrial and academic research laboratories and institutions to stimulate new research initiatives and field laser applications involving sensitive and selective detection of molecular species with a broad interdisciplinary approach.

FLAIR provides overview lectures by international experts, emphasizing integrative and multi-disciplinary approaches. Talks and posters will be presented by laser detection specialists, but also by researchers active in one of the fields of application (atmospheric monitoring, industrial process control, biomedicine, combustion science, etc.) who are highly familiar with the measurement challenges in an industrial or research setting, but may have limited knowledge of laser-based solutions. Special industry sessions and an exhibition enable our industrial partners to highlight recent progress of commercial systems. The social events help to foster an atmosphere in which it is easy to discuss and interact with researchers across different disciplines.

FLAIR 2024, chaired by Francesco D’Amato and Erik Kerstel, will be held 16-20 September 2024 in S. Maria degli Angeli - Assisi, Italy, and will be 100% in-person.

FLAIR 2024 is organized under auspices of the Italian National Research Council and the French CNRS. Administrative support is provided by the National Institute of Optics.
