Photonics students, meet your future! 🔬✨

The Finnish Photonics Student Industry Forum 2026 brings together students, researchers and companies to connect, exchange ideas and explore career opportunities in Finland’s photonics industry.

Theme: From Research to Real-World Impact: Careers, Communication & Innovation in Photonics

​About the Event 

​

​What does it take to turn photonics knowledge and research into meaningful careers, innovation, and real-world impact?

​The FPSIF 2026 brings together students, researchers, academic leaders, and industry professionals for an afternoon of conversations around the future of photonics, scientific communication, career development, research-to-industry pathways, and innovation.

​The 2026 Forum marks the inaugural edition of a new national student-led collaboration bringing together optics and photonics student organizations across Finland. Our ambition is to establish the Finnish Photonics Student Forum as an annual event, with hosting rotating among participating universities.

Come meet the people behind the technology!
