This symposium will bring together experts of infrared spectroscopy to discuss the vast scientific potential unlocked by space-based infrared observations. From unraveling galaxy evolution across cosmic time to revealing the chemical compositions of star-forming regions and planetary systems, space spectroscopy offers an unparalleled window into the universe. Missions such as JWST, Euclid, SPHEREx, Roman, Ariel, and Pandora are, or soon will be, revolutionizing our ability to study the faintest and most distant objects, or acquire spectra orders of magnitude faster than previous telescopes.
 
The aim of the symposium is to highlight the scientific breakthroughs enabled by these missions and to provide a timely forum for coordination and exchange across them. By bringing together teams and fostering dialogue among missions and disciplines—from cosmology to planetary science—the symposium will help align scientific approaches and maximize the collective impact of space-based infrared spectroscopy. It will also strive to address the community’s research and collaboration needs, especially regarding large and complex datasets, while promoting the use of advanced data analysis techniques. An additional focus will be on developing strategies to optimize future observational efforts and ensure the greatest scientific return from these missions.
