The event will be held in English and addresses experts and all people interested in these exciting topics. Participants are encouraged to share their view independently of their educational background. The event will take place at Fraunhofer IOF in the City of Light, Jena, Germany.

We have great speakers who will share insight into their approaches towards photonics-driven reduction of climate-damaging emissions and environmentally friendly production. The tentative program can be downloaded here. Aside of talks and networking to exchange continuously growing opportunities for photonics-driven solutions to create positive environmental impact, we will also have a panel discussion moderated by Olga Raz from OPTICA (USA), lab tours, and quality networking time.
