Industrial Photonics - 13th SSOM Engelberg Lectures on Optics

Location:

Hotel Regina Titlis, Engelberg, Switzerland

Duration:

16 March 2009 - 19 March 2009

Switzerland’s photonics industry stays at second place in Europe concerning the per capita production volume. Industrial photonics, with its most important sectors laser material processing, optical metrology & image processing and life science photonics, therefore plays an important role for the Swiss industry. The 13th SSOM Engelberg lectures on optics 2009 will therefore present and discuss the field of industrial photonics. About 25 lecturers from academic and industry will talk about newest academic developments, industrial needs and trends, processes and concepts. Industrial Photonics has been also the topic of the SATW – Transferkolleg in 2008, and some of the lecturers are winners of this event.

It's a tradition of the Engelberg lectures to bring students together with researchers from universities and industry. After the morning session, the afternoons are free to allow networking activities, discussions or sporting activities such as skiing. The evening sessions are followed by an enjoyable dinner.
