Round Table Discussion

PHOTON 26 introduces a new and exciting feature – a Conference Roundtable Session on Optics, Photonics and related fields in the UK and EU.

Optics and Photonics provide key enabling technologies (KETs) for Telecommunications, Medicine, Space, Metrology, Quantum Technologies, Defence & Security, Atmospheric and Climate sciences, as well as many other areas of manufacturing. These drive the overarching Digital, Healthcare and Industrial Sustainability objectives across the UK and EU. 

This year the PHOTON Organising Committee has teamed up with the European Optical Society (EOS), an umbrella organisation for national Optical Societies across Europe, to hold this session on Optics and Photonics.

In this session, we will plumb the depths of Optics & Photonics issues affecting professionals, practitioners, organisations, and, or statutory bodies whether in academia or industry and discuss emerging opportunities to strengthen UK EU collaborations to advance the sector.

IOP will publish a read out after the event as a record of the discussion to help and support with ongoing engagements.
