Karlsruhe Days of Optics & Photonics 2021
KSOP‘s qualification both as research and education platform for the future‘s greats in Optics & Photonics is based on close partnerships with leaders from industry and academia. To deepen these knowledge networks, KSOP provides the bi-annual Karlsruhe Days of Optics & Photonics.
Every other year for three days, the Karlsruhe Days of Optics & Photonics brings together leading experts of Optics & Photonics to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). During the conference, each of the five research areas of KSOP is highlighted by plenary lectures. The lectures was held by invited experts in the respective field.
In addition, all KSOP doctoral researchers presented their research in a poster session.
This turns KDOP into an efficient format to initiate collaboration with national as well as international partners from industry and academia. With over 150 participants, we are proud that we provided a renowned forum in the Optics & Photonics world.
