SUMMARY:Training on Spectral Imaging and its Applications
DESCRIPTION:What to expect \n\n\n\nSpectral imaging is powerful tool in modern science\, machine vision\, medicine\, industry\, agriculture\, forestry\, arts\, and many other areas of modern human activities. Spectral imaging provides an easy way to compare and distinguish objects which look similar to human eyes\, but actually different. \n\n\n\nThis one-day hands-on training course provides opportunity to understand how you can apply spectral imaging in your own field: science\, industry\, biology\, medicine\, arts.The course will focus on three technology demonstrations: \n\n\n\n\nSpectra and spectroscopy – a simple way to distinguish objects;\n\n\n\nSpectral cameras and their application;\n\n\n\nSpectral data processing using non-commercial software (on example of Python).\n\n\n\n\nCourse attendees will learn how they could arrange spectral measurements and spectral data processing in their own field. \n\n\n\nCourse outcomes \n\n\n\n\nGet the idea what is a light spectrum and what is spectral data.\n\n\n\nLearn how spectral cameras allow to get images where each spatial pixel is spectrum\n\n\n\nLearn that processing of spectal data is very similar to processing of traditional photos and RGB images (such as png\, bmp\, jpg\, etc)\n\n\n\nUnderstanding how spectral imaging can be applied in modern science\, medicine or industry\n\n\n\n\nCourse audience \n\n\n\nIt is desirable that course attendees have a basic understanding of photonics: light\, light spectrum\, infrared light\, wavelengths. Understanding of programming at basic level is required: variables and arrays\, for loops\, if else\, numerical data formats (such as integers and floats). Understanding of image processing is desirable but not essential. \n\n\n\nThis training is meant for people who would benefit from knowledge on imaging technologies\, new comers in photonics companies\, but also people using imaging for health\, agrifood\, waste management\, etc… \n\n\n\nAttendee experience \n\n\n\nNo previous experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Photonics and Quantum focused business and research delegation visit to the state of Colorado
DESCRIPTION:The Team Finland network in the USA invites Finnish companies and researchers in photonics\, quantum technologies\, climate solutions\, and advanced computation to join a business and research delegation visit to Colorado. The visit will be led by Ambassador Leena-Kaisa Mikkola and offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the most dynamic U.S. regions for science\, technology\, and innovation. \n\n\n\nOrganized in cooperation with the Colorado Office of Economic Development (OEDIT)\, Photonics Finland\, the FAME Flagship\, and the NSF ASCEND Engine\, the visit aims to strengthen partnerships between Finnish and U.S. stakeholders across academia\, industry\, and government. \n\n\n\nThe program is aligned with the SPIE Quantum Catalyst Conference in Boulder\, bringing together global experts to explore commercial applications of quantum technologies. Learn more at spie.org. \n\n\n\nColorado is home to world-class research institutions including NIST\, NCAR\, NOAA\, and top universities. The state has emerged as a national hub in photonics and quantum\, attracting nearly $600 million in private investment since 2020. \n\n\n\nIf this sounds interesting\, register for the visit at the latest by 5 September 2025!  \n\n\n\n\nRead more and Register\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\nThis visit is tailored for Finnish companies and representatives of Finnish research entities\, who are interested in pursuing business opportunities and research collaboration within the broad thematic areas of photonics\, quantum and advanced computation. We welcome Finnish representatives from companies and other entities who have already established their presence in the U.S.\, as well as those who are traveling from Finland to pursue new business opportunities. \n\n\n\nThe delegation program in Colorado will consist of visits to research entities and individual US businesses\, meetings with representatives of Colorado’s key industries and government\, and networking with various stakeholders in Colorado’s vibrant R&D ecosystem. \n\n\n\nParticipation fee  \n\n\n\nTo cover the expenses of arranging the program in Colorado\, Business Finland will charge a participation fee of \n\n\n\nSME’s and Micro companies: 1615 EUR + 25.5% VAT \n\n\n\nMajor companies: 1900 EUR + 25.5% VAT \n\n\n\nBusiness Finland will invoice the participation fee after the visit based on the actual costs. The invoiced fee will not exceed the amounts mentioned above. Kindly note that the participation fee does not include flights\, accommodation\, meals and transportation outside the business delegation program. The fee does not include tickets to SPIE.

SUMMARY:Light for Families -  Valoa Perheille
DESCRIPTION:“Light for Families” family event \n\n\n\nThis autumn\, we will dive into the fascinating world of insects – through light at Art Garden Botania in Joensuu\, Finland. \n\n\n\nUniversity of Eastern Finland\, together with University of Eastern Finland’s LUMA Center and the Photonics Flagship PREIN\, invites you to participate in the “Light for Families” family event on Saturday\, 8 November 2025\, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Joensuu’s Art Garden Botania! \n\n\n\nThe “Light for Families” event is being organised for the fifth time\, and year after year it has grown in popularity while bringing photonics – the science of light – closer to children and young people. \n\n\n\nThis autumn\, we will dive into the fascinating world of insects – through light. The theme focuses on small but important insects and studying them with the tools of photonics. A day full of fun and insightful activities awaits the whole family! \n\n\n\nFor children (approximately 3–12 years old)\, there will be an exciting adventure to uncover the secrets of the insect world using light science. The adventure is suitable for younger children together with an adult\, and for older ones to explore independently. \n\n\n\nDuring the day\, visitors can also make a traditional Father’s Day gift – naturally using photonics. In addition\, you can enjoy the enchanting surroundings of the Art Garden Botania\, where insects are bustling about and inspiring exploration. \n\n\n\nThe event is free of charge and open to everyone.
