After the 13th International Workshop held in Pisa (Italy) in September 2015, it has been decided to organize the 14th AITA 2017 in Quebec City (Canada) with the main objectives to assess the state of the art of the technology in the Infrared bands and to present its most interesting applications. In the 14th AITA edition, special emphasis will be given to the following topics:

• Advanced technology and materials
• Smart and fiber-optic sensors
• Thermo-fluid dynamics
• Biomedical applications
• Environmental monitoring
• Aerospace and industrial applications
• Nanophotonics and Nanotechnologies
• Astronomy and Earth observation
• Non-destructive tests and evaluation
• Systems and applications for the culture heritage
• Image processing and data analysis
• Near-, mid-, and far infrared systems

Interestingly, the VIIIth edition of the International Workshop on Advances Signal Processing for NonDestructive Evaluation (IWASPNDE, Quebec Workshop) will also take place as a simultaneous joint event.
