The international conference Speckle 2010, Speckle Fields Forever, will be held in Rosario, Argentina, after Interferometry in Speckle Light in Lausanne in 2000, Speckle Metrology 2003 in Trondheim and Speckle'06, From Grains to Flowers, in Nimes. The organization of the fourth meeting in Argentina in 2010 comes from a round table of experts and users present in Nimes in 2006. Speckle is a continuous growing research field in optics and their associated techniques are currently being developed at numerous laboratories located in different countries. Speckle 2010 will be an opportunity for researchers to present their current work.

The optical community of Argentina welcomes participants, both beginners and senior researchers, involved in all areas and applications of speckle. The community is particularly interested in discussing the most recent theories, techniques and data analysis approaches, and also the different applications of the speckle effect in experimental mechanics, material science, optical testing, industry, medicine, biology, agriculture, forensic science, etc. Student participation is strongly promoted, as new generations are needed to keep up with the growth rate. In this special occasion, we also would like to recognize the senior researchers that pioneered the field.
