FEMTO-ST is delighted to host once again our annual Frontiers in Photonics Symposium which will be held in the morning of Friday November 23th 2018 and which will be followed by a buffet lunch.
The programme features three internationally renowned scientists (Professors Psaltis, Gigan and Falco) and the talks will cover topics in basic and applied science as well as the link between optics and art. The Symposium is an opportunity to bring together scientists, post-docs and PhD students around the broad theme of optics and to provide an informal environment for discussions and networking.
The maximum number of attendees is limited to 90.
Reservations will be accepted in the order they are received. (See the registration page)
