In a four-day session, invited experts from international and German research institutions will give thorough and in-depth introductions into this specific fields as well as cover specialized research topics. Although the CFN Summer School was originally established to address advanced graduate students and postdocs, senior scientists whishing to broaden their knowledge in the fields of nano-biology and nano-electronics are welcome to attend.   Course language is English.   To further scientific exchange and discussion, each participant is expected to present a poster describing his/her scientific background, research interests or current research project.

Deadline for Registration: 20 August 2009

Synopsis

The EMVPO conferences gather world leading scientists in visual and physiological optics. The focus is on how the optics of the eye affects vision and on how it may be corrected and improved. The meetings are much appreciated due to the high scientific quality and the informal and intimate atmosphere, which encourages the exchange of new ideas and networking. It is a three-day meeting without parallel sessions and it attracts participants from all over the world.

Nanophotonics is a broad field, having fascinating aspects both from a fundamental point of view and with regard to future applications in photonic devices and materials. The topics that will be covered by the school are those of nano plasmonics and nano photonics including energy efficiency and generation. The scope of the school is to introduce participants to concept, methods, applications and the state of the art in nanophotonics. The school will focus on both the theoretical and experimental aspects of the current research in the field, with an eye to applications. The School will be covered by lectures and seminars. A special event, supported by SIOF, to celebrate 50 years of Laser is scheduled .

Application deadline: May 31, 2010 (only 60 places available)

The 9th International Conference on Vibration Measurements by Laser and Noncontact Techniques, organised by A.I.VE.LA. in collaboration with the Department of Mechanics of the Polytechnic University of Marches (former University of Ancona), will be held in the Tower of the Faculty of Engineering at the University in a modern complex of buildings situated on a hill facing Ancona’s beautiful harbour.

The Conference will take place in the Aula Magna and in room 160/3 (for parallel sessions).  In order to facilitate orientation in the Faculty, each floor is identified by its altitude above sea level.  The main entrance to the Tower is at level 160, floor #1, while the Aula Magna is at level 150, floor #-1. On the same floor as the Aula Magna there is also the Exhibition area and the Conference Registration desk.

Miniaturization and high precision are rapidly becoming a requirement in many industrial processes and products.
As result, there is greater interest in the use of laser microfabrication approaches to achieve these goals. The International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication (LPM) is annually held to provide a forum for research and technology development in the area of laser micro/nanofabrication. The unique aspect of this symposium is the interchange between fundamental research and industrial applications.
