It is our custom in NIR news to invite the THA winner to contribute a summary of their award lecture in an issue soon after the ceremony. Unfortunately the 2015 award article was overlooked but we are happy to have prevailed upon the winner, Søren Engelsen, to allow us to maintain this custom by writing something for us. In an exciting summary article, Søren initially recaps on some practical aspects of NIR spectroscopy and reminds us of why it is such a useful technique. In a look to the future, however, he holds out some tantalising glimpses of what developments might be just around the corner and how these might produce sea changes in our thinking and use of the method — how about instruments which require no calibration transfer operations? Read and enjoy! Oh and the lecture summary by the 2016 winner will appear in 2016!! Ed.
