On behalf of the ISLS 2018 Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, I cordially invite you to attend the XVIIIth International Symposium on Luminescence Spectrometry, which will be held in Brest, France, from 19 to 22 June 2018, and organised by the OPTIMAG Laboratory.

For the past 34 years ISLS has provided an excellent framework for the presentation of new concepts, recent developments, instruments, methods, systems, and applications covering all aspects of modern luminescence spectroscopy.

World scientists from universities, research institutes,state organizations, and the industry come together during these meetings to present and experience the current state of the art in luminescence spectrometry.

At the same time, the conference provides the opportunity for graduate and post graduate students to present a communication (oral or poster), discuss scientific collaborations and explore employment opportunities.
