SIOF è lieta di patrocinare l’edizione 2025 del congresso NOMA – Nonlinear Optics: Materials and Applications, che si terrà dal 23 al 27 giugno 2025 a Paola (CS).

The European Optical Society Annual Meeting, EOSAM, is a major international scientific conference and exhibition covering all aspects of Optics and Photonics within several Topical Meetings and Sessions, covering all aspects of optics and photonics. The 13th EOSAM is organized in Delft, The Netherlands, 24-28 August 2025 by The European Optical Society, EOS, in close collaboration with The Delft University of Technology, TU Delft.

The 11th edition of the Workshop on Plasmonics, Nano-optics, and their Applications will be held at Complesso San Geminiano, co-organized by CNR-NANO and Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, with SIOF's 'Plasmonics and nano-optics' working group.

The registrations have officially opened for the sixth edition of AMYC-BIOMED, the international multidisciplinary conference dedicated to under-40 researchers working in the field of biomedical sciences from all perspectives. The leitmotiv of the meeting is the contamination of ideas.

This year there will be the first Summer Edition in Palermo from 23 to 25 June 2025.

We are excited to announce RaMS2025, the 1st Workshop on Raman Spectroscopies for Materials Science. This event is open to anyone from senior researchers to PhD students. Experts in the field and whoever is curious about the manifold applications of the Raman techniques are welcome!

The European Pathfinder projects ARTEMIS, FERROMON, IQARO, and Q-ONE are pleased to announce the Quantum Optics and Quantum Materials Summer School, scheduled for May 26–30, 2025, in Lecce, Italy.

We are pleased to announce the third edition of the "Biophotonics & Artificial Intelligence School - BpAI," which will take place in Florence from February 17th to 21st, 2025.

Per il Premio di Laurea, il Consiglio di Presidenza SIOF si è costituito come commissione di valutazione. La commissione ha estremamente apprezzato il livello delle domande sottomesse, che ha valutato sulla base del voto di laurea, l’abstract della tesi e le eventuali pubblicazioni associate.
