The Tomas Hirschfeld Award organized by ICNIRS is aiming to make in recognition of a significant contribution to the science of near infrared spectroscopy, including in research and development of new technology by an emerging scientist with the potential to make a major impact in the future. The award had been sponsored by Technicon, Bran+Luebbe

The Karl Norris Award honours the unique contribution of Karl Norris as the internationally recognized founder of near infrared spectroscopy in the modern world. In contrast to the Tomas Hirshfeld Award, which is aimed at younger researchers, this award is aimed at researchers in the later stages of their career, with a sustained record of

In March 2019, the Valorisation of Agricultural Products Department of the CRA-W organised its 12th annual training on vibrational spectroscopy and chemometrics. The aim of this annual training is to give an overview of the theoretical and practical issues of both areas for their right application in different working areas as food and feed research, chemistry

The winner of Tomas Hirschfeld Award 2018 is Professor Christian Huck from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Christian has developed several NIR-based applications in the field of Material Science, Bioanalysis, Medicinal Plants and Food Quality Control. He has written several milestone publications including the investigation of nanomaterials and rapid blood quality control. Christian has also
