Online! 9TH EPS-QEOD Europhoton Conference, 30 August to 4 September 2020 Prague, Czech Republic

Dear Europhoton participant! This year we need to face with the Covid-19 spread in Europe and overseas. As a consequence the conference chairs took the decision to hold Europhoton 2020 as an online all-virtual conference, while keeping the original conference dates from 30 August to 4 September 2020. Knowing that many cannot access to their laboratories, as present action, please note that the deadline to submit your contribution is now Monday 22 June 2020.

This unique conference features the latest breakthroughs in the field of solid-state, fibre and waveguide light sources.
World-renowned researchers discuss the latest developments in the scientific community accompanied by Summer School sessionsat the PhD student and postdoctoral level, and by informal breakout sessions for discussion and vendor display viewing. This conference will also feature a half-day special Symposium.

The conference will be held in Prague, Czech Republic.

The conference is organised by the European Physical Society in cooperation with the Quantum Electronics and Optics Division (QEOD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) and the Czech Technical University of Prague (CTU).
