Welcome to CMDSonline!

CMDS_online is an online webinar series intended to bring together researchers developing and applying state-of-the-art Coherent MultiDimensional Spectroscopic methods to address problems in chemistry, biology, physics, and material science. The aim of the series is to keep the CMDS community alive during the covid19 pandemic times. The webinars are scheduled as bi-weekly global presentations on recent research developments. The webinars are set up as pairs of 30 minutes talks with 15 minutes discussion time for efficient exchange of ideas, with a total duration of 1½ hour. The exact webinar time will depend on the speakers’ continents.

The webinars are free of charge but you need to register to receive Zoom links to the webinars.

Concluding Remarks on CMDSonline

CMDSonline 2020-21 series has ended after 15 webinars which comprised 31 talks. More than 550 participants from 36 countries all over the world met online bi-weakly during the covid19 pandemic. Many thanks to our sponsors and everyone who contributed with talks, questions, and attending! The recorded videos will continue to be available to the community on the CMDSonline YouTube channel. We are looking forward to meeting and discussing Coherent MultiDimensional Spectroscopy in person again!
