On-site registrations and welcoming of participants were possible as early as Tuesday 1^st of November.

The scientific session lasted two and a half days, oral presentations and exhibitions will be held from Wednesday 2^nd of November to Friday 4^th of November 2022. 

TERS-8 has kept the single session tradition of the TERS conference. The scientific program has included keynote talks, contributed talks and poster sessions. 

Coffee breaks and poster sessions were organized in the sponsors exhibition hall so as to favour maximum interactions between the attendees and the sponsors.

TERS-8 meeting has addressed both fundamental and applications of TERS, with special emphasis on the spatial resolution, instrumentation, methodology and operando measurements. It was also the opportunity to integrate in the congress other nanospectroscopies such as AFM-IR, fluorescence or non-linear approaches. The scientific program will include invited and contributed talks, industry presentations and training sessions, and poster sessions.

Topics covered during TERS-8 included:

• Submolecular resolution
• Biological applications
• Tip preparation
• Plasmonic and photochemical effects on the measurements
• Complex media, operando measurements
• Theoretical aspects
• Other emerging spectroscopies (fluorescence, AFM-IR)
• Future trends of TERS related approaches
• Chemistry on the tip

Lunch, Gala, Excursions

Lunches were taken in « Arenes de Lutèce », with dessert and coffee proposed in the sponsorship exhibition hall.

A gala dinner has beeb organized on Thursday night in the Moulin de la Galette restaurant at the heart of the historical Montmartre district (on reservation only). 

Guided tour (walk) in the latin and Montmartre district were proposed on Wednesday and Thursday late afternoon respectively. Boat cruise "Bateaux Mouches" on the Seine river were proposed on Friday afternoon.
