For the first time, the LIP Conference (Light Interaction with Particles) and the LII Workshop (Laser Induced Incandescence) will be held together in a single event, fostering discussions and collaborations on optical diagnostics of particles through complementary techniques. This conference is also fully open to the ELS (Electromagnetic and Light Scattering) community: there are plans to merge the two conferences in the future.
