We are pleased to announce the Recent Advances in Computer-aided Spectroscopy 2026 workshop (RACS 2026). RACS 2026 will take place in the beautiful city of Modena, Italy on 8-11 June 2026.
Building on the success of RACXS 2024 in Espoo, Finland, RACS 2026 expands its scope beyond X-ray spectroscopy—while still maintaining it as a central theme—to embrace a broader range of spectroscopic techniques. The workshop welcomes contributions spanning the full spectrum of computational spectroscopy, from fundamental theory to practical applications. A key focus will be the growing synergy between experiment and simulation, highlighting their integration and complementarity in advancing spectroscopic research.
Why attend?
RACS 2026 is more than a technical meeting—it is a platform to spark meaningful dialogue between theorists and experimentalists, foster new collaborations, and strengthen a vibrant interdisciplinary community driving innovation across spectroscopy. The program will feature leading international experts who will share cutting-edge insights and inspire new directions in the field.
Key topics include:
- Highly accurate electronic-structure methods
- High-throughput spectrum generation and materials discovery
- Machine learning approaches for accelerating predictions and interpreting experimental spectra
- Structure determination and inference from spectral data
- Novel methodologies combining experimental and simulated spectra
- Applications to functional materials, including catalysis, energy storage, and quantum materials
