EOSAM serves as a premier platform for presenting cutting-edge research, showcasing the latest technological advancements and applications, fostering meaningful connections, and bridging the gap between research, education, and industry. Submissions will be welcomed for both oral and poster presentations. The event also features an industrial exhibition alongside a robust scientific and industrial program, offering valuable opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry.

At EOSAM, you can look forward to a dynamic and engaging week that includes:

A Comprehensive Scientific and Industrial Program featuring the latest research and technological developments in optics and photonics.

Tutorials offering in-depth sessions on specialized topics, held just before the main conference begins.

Plenary and Invited Talks delivering insights from leading experts and pioneers in the field.

A Global Audience, with participants representing over 30 countries, fostering diverse perspectives and international collaboration.

Networking Opportunities through dedicated events designed to encourage collaboration and meaningful knowledge exchange.

An Industrial Exhibition showcasing the latest innovations and creating valuable connections between academia and industry.

An Early-Career Researcher Program supporting the next generation of scientists with tailored sessions, mentoring opportunities, and professional development resources.

Each year, EOSAM is hosted in a different leading hub of optics and photonics, allowing it to better engage with local communities and deliver a unique experience to attendees. Since its inception in 2006, EOSAM has been held in France, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Portugal. Have a look at the 2025 EOSAM in Delft, or any of the previous EOSAM events, in preparation for joining us in 2026.

EOS is very excited to partner with Finland for the 2026 EOSAM event. See you in Tampere 24-28 August 2026!
