The ICOPVS is amongst the worlds leading vibrational spectroscopic meetings attracting participants from all over the world. Prof. V.K. Rastogi started this conference series in 2006 in Meerut and subsequently it was held in Trivandrum (two times-2008, 2014), Varanasi (2010) and Mavelikara (2013). This International Conference on Vibrational Spectroscopy brings together scientists from all disciplines of vibrational spectroscopy; mid-infrared, Raman, near infrared, chemometrics, non-linear Raman spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman scattering, vibrational circular dichroism, nanomaterials and terahertz.
