This was the Academy for Hyperspectral Imaging in Industry

The chii Academy 2019 was a full success!

The chii Academy was the first event and platform of its kind in the field of hyperspectral imaging - dedicated to knowledge transfer between engineers, apprentices and applications users. This unique event took place in Graz, Austria form 23 - 24 May 2019 and was focused on technical aspects from an interdisciplinary point of view.

Companies took the opportunity to present their products, services and expertise on the marketplace. 17 international experts in the field of hyperspectral imaging provided advice on technical aspects, product development and business opportunities.
