About EOSAM & Previous Events

 

The European Optical Society Annual meeting (EOSAM) is a major international scientific conference with an exhibition and industrial program. It was established specifically to provide a platform for experts in the field of optics and photonics, bringing forth new research results, the state of the art, and bridging the gap between research, education, and industry. EOSAM is attended by top researchers, key leaders, students and industry experts.

EOSAM has been organized since 2006, initially in Paris. After 2010 it was decided to move EOSAM around Europe, bringing the event into different optics hubs better serving the local communities and at each time creating a unique EOSAM experience for the attendees. Starting form 2020, the EOSAM will be an annual event, so mark your calendars!
