1 October 2024, Brussels — The CHARISMA project marked its grand finale at the CSIC Brussels Office, under the engaging theme “Harmony time for Raman spectroscopy in academia and industry: not a FAIRy tale.” This hybrid event, welcoming both in-person and virtual participants, offered a wealth of insights into the advancements in Raman spectroscopy brought forward by the project.

Explore CHARISMA’s role, with UNE, NTUA, CSIC, ELODIZ, LBF, and IdeaConsult, in developing new standards for Raman spectroscopy. CWAs 18134 and 18133 provide essential protocols for calibration, verification, and data comparison of Raman instruments, supporting reproducible, reliable results across research fields. See how these consensus-based agreements are advancing quality and consistency in global industry practices.

The primary focus of this study lies on establishing clear procedures for calibrating Raman instruments, verifying spectral resolution, and harmonising data to improve reliability and to facilitate inter-instrument comparability.

Your participation will be appreciated.

The CHARISMA Raman School 2024, held from Sunday, July 28 to Friday, August 2, at the Sapienza University of Rome, provided an engaging environment under the hot and sunny skies of Rome.

CHARISMA June 2024 Newsletter:

The CHARISMA Project held its consortium meeting from June 3 to June 5, 2024, at the prestigious Fondazione UNIMI in Milan, Italy. The three-day event, hosted by the University of Milan, brought together leading experts and partners to discuss advancements, updates, and future directions of the project.

On 28 February 2024 the CEN Workshop on 'Raman devices calibration, verification and twinning protocols' was kicked off where registered participants have agreed on the draft of the CWA. For this a public commenting is organised, closing on 29 June 2024.
