To encourage and support students in continuing their study in optics and photonics and to start a successful career, the EOS has launched a Student Programme in 2011 and now asks again for applications for the foundation of further EOS Student Clubs.

By now, seven Student Clubs have been established to focus on special concerns and needs of students in optics and photonics and to provide a platform for networking. To facilitate contacts between students and industry the EOS arranges an annual EOS Student Assembly. This year’s assembly will be held alongside EOSAM 2012 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

2012 is an election year for the EOS Board. Five seats will have to be filled. All EOS members are entitled to nominate candidates for election to the Board.

Deadline for nominations: 31 March 2012.
 

With the motivation "For pioneering contributions to the development of periodically poled materials and important contributions to laser physics and nonlinear optics" the OSA has elected Laurell as a Fellow. The chairman of the Swedish Optical Society, SOS, and professor for laser physics at KTH, Sweden, is not a no-name within the EOS either. Since December 2011 he acts as a section editor for the Journal of the European Optical Society: Rapid Publications (JEOS: RP, www.jeos.org), before that he held the position as chairman of the EOS Advisory Committee.
