International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure
ICESS-16 - July 20th - July 25th, 2025 • Berkeley, California
Welcome to the premiere conference for
electronic spectroscopy and structure!
The International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure (ICESS) is a series of conferences that bring together leading experts in the field of electronic structure and spectroscopy. ICESS aims to foster collaboration, present and discuss the latest advancements in the field, to provide a stimulating and convivial environment in world-class venues, and to provide a platform for young scientists to showcase their work.
Focus: The conferences cover a wide range of topics, including:
Theoretical and experimental studies of electronic structure and dynamics
Spectroscopy techniques (e.g., photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption/emission spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy)
Spectromicroscopy (e.g. PEEM, STM, nanoARPES)
Applications in various fields ranging from correlation physics and materials science to AMO science, chemistry and biology
History: ICESS has a long and distinguished history, with previous conferences held in various locations around the world.
