Welcome

Dear Friends,

We are honored to announce and invite you to attend the joint conferences ICAME & HYPERFINE 2025, held in Gdańsk, Poland, between 7th and 12th September 2025. Both meetings, ICAME - 38^th International Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect  and HYPERFINE - the International Conference on Hyperfine Interactions and Their Applications, have a long tradition dating back to the 1960s. The conferences have been the main forum for exchanging knowledge and information between scientists studying hyperfine interactions (basic research) and specialists using nuclear methods, particularly Mössbauer spectroscopy, which exploit these interactions (application research). With the development of experimental techniques based on hyperfine interactions and using large research facilities such as synchrotrons, the need for closer cooperation between both environments arose, leading to HYPERFINE and ICAME’s merger. The first combined ICAME and HYPERFINE conferences took place in 2021 in Brasov, Romania.

The years of the pandemic have strongly weakened the direct interaction between scientists, while the organization of hybrid conferences has not met expectations; that is why we strongly encourage you to attend the ICAME & HYPERFINE 2025 conference in person. The conference is organized by the Polish community of scientists specializing in Mössbauer spectroscopy and hyperfine interactions from different universities and research institutes in Poland. 

The conference venue is in Gdańsk, a famous city in northern Poland with almost half a million inhabitants. It is an important cultural, scientific, and economic center that is conveniently connected by air with most European cities. The location by the Baltic Sea guarantees good conditions for work and also for rest. It is a city with over a thousand years of history, whose identity over the centuries has been shaped under the influence of various cultures. Gdańsk is considered a symbolic place of the beginning of the fall of communism in Central Europe, and it is the city of Lech Wałęsa and Solidarity.  

The scientific program of the conference will cover the traditional topics of the previous ICAME and HYPERFINE events. We are planning a common book of abstracts, joint welcome session and coffee breaks, tutorials on Mössbauer and hyperfine topics, shared scientific sessions, a special session for young researchers, and joint social events.

We warmly invite all the Mössbauer and Hyperfine community to participate in the joint ICAME & HYPERFINE 2025 and look forward to seeing you in Gdańsk. 

Yours sincerely,
Organizing Committee
