Welcome Message from Chair:

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are delighted to announce that the 4^th Asian Symposium on Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (ASLIBS) will be held in Qingdao, China, from October 16 to 20, 2021.

Due to the unique circumstances that we’re experiencing, the 4^th ASLIBS will go on as a combination of face-to-face conference (for Chinese attendees) and online conference (for attendees outside Chinese Mainland). We guarantee that all the academic talks will be live broadcast online for a wider influence of the conference.

The scientific program includes the 2^nd LIBS Summit 2021, giving with plenary talks by internationally recognized speakers. Oral and poster sessions contributed by invited and selected presenters will show the most relevant results on current topics that are of paramount interest to the LIBS community, from plasma fundamentals, through new methods and instrumentation, to industry and future applications.

The conference will have a 10^th anniversary event to review the great progress of the Chinese LIBS community, starting from the first CSLIBS 2011 symposium in Qingdao.

Welcome and thank you for joining us at ASLIBS 2021!
