Photonics Online Meetup
The next Photonics Online Meetup will take place in January 2021. The first Meetup was organised a year ago because this form of conference allows participants and speakers to attend the event without having to travel. This not only increased savings and participation opportunities, but also provided valuable experience to elevate the exchange of ideas and personal interaction at virtual events to a level comparable to traditional face-to-face events.

Experience from POM20
1,100 researchers in 37 countries on 6 continents attended the conference simultaneously. After the conference the team was convinced of its merits. “We will continue to use this form for large professional meetings,” said ETH Professor Rachel Grange. “It makes possible a free top-quality conference that is open to all.”
