GREETINGS FROM THE CO-CHAIRMAN OF CSI XXXV
Dear All Participants of Colloquium Spectroscopicum Internationale XXXV,
Welcome to the beautiful city of Xiamen. Being the first CSI Conference
to be held in China, the Organizers of the Conference, (except myself)
has devoted great efforts to make this Conference a most successful one,
not only for intensive exchange of scientific knowledge and experimental
experience in the spectroscopy world but also to let the participants
fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiamen in its best season.
Regretfully, after longing for this wonderful occasion for many years to
meet many good old friends, my weak health prevents me from joining you
in this great event.
The Organizers, particularly the Chairman, Professor Benli Huang, with
the strong support of the International Scientific Advisory Board, the
National Natural Science Foundations of China, Xiamen Municipal
Government, Xiamen University, the local organizing committee, the
Conference secretariat and other sponsors, have made great contributions
to the successful organization of the Conference. It has been many
Chinese spectroscopists’ dream for tens of years to host a CSI, now he
has realized it comes true!
It is a great honor to act as Co-Chairman of such a prestigious
Conference. Regretfully, my contribution to it can only be measured in
the micro- if not nano-scale. However, it is sufficient for me to be
connected with it.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Winner of the
CSI XXXV Award, Professor Gary Hieftje for his outstanding contribution
to spectroscopy, and to whole-heartedly wish all participants of the CSI
XXXV a most enjoyable stay in Xiamen.
Zhaolun Fang, MCAS, FRSC
