SUMMARY:Laser World of Photonics 2025 - Photonics Finland Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:LASER World of PHOTONICS (LWOP) is a trade fair for innovative technology that focuses on the entire range of existing applications. Because it deals with a key crossover technology\, LASER also addresses other important industrial sectors such as material processing\, measuring\, testing and inspection\, optical data transmission and lasers in medicine. LASER`s special significance is due to its unique combination of users\, laser-source manufacturers and system suppliers. Laser World of Photonics 2025 will be organized June 24-27 2025 in Münich\, Germany.Photonics Finland organizes the Finnish Pavilion with its member companies to provide a turn key solution for companies to join the exhibition with affordable pricing and great visibility!  \n\n\n\nPhotonics Finland Pavilion companies \n\n\n\n\nInkron\n\n\n\nAmpliconyx\n\n\n\nEvolase\n\n\n\nReflekron\n\n\n\nSenop\n\n\n\nElfys\n\n\n\nPicophotonics\n\n\n\nComptek Solutions\n\n\n\nVexlum\n\n\n\nPREIN\n\n\n\nBeneq\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotonics Finland Pavilion feedback from 2023 Exhibition  \n\n\n\n\nBased on a received feedback companies gives 4.88 / 5 rating for the usability\, size and overall look of the Photonics Finland Pavilion.\n\n\n\nCompanies gives 4.5 / 5 rating for the Photonics Finland service quality before and during the exhibition (incl. arrangements\, customer service\, and internal communications)\n\n\n\nOn 2023 the the special highlight was Finnish Midsummer Networking event\, which was organized together with Business Finland.

SUMMARY:Fotoniikka 55 vuotta Joensuussa
DESCRIPTION:Juhlaseminaari (in english – please see more below)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOptiikan ja fotoniikan tutkimus Joensuussa alkoi 55 vuotta sitten\, juuri perustetussa Joensuun yliopistosta. Vuosien kuluessa fotoniikasta on kehittynyt merkittävä alueellinen ja kansainvälinen osaamiskeskittymä Joensuuhun. Haluamme juhlistaa tätä juhlaseminaarilla ja avoimien ovien tapahtumalla. Koronan takia välistä jääneet 50-vuotisjuhlat juhlitaan nyt! \n\n\n\nJuhlaseminaarimme kokoaa yhteen kaikki fotoniikasta kiinnostuneet\, niin asiantuntijat\, tutkijat\, opiskelijat\, päättäjät kuin uteliaat kaupunkilaisetkin\, pohtimaan fotoniikan tulevaisuuden merkitystä. Seminaarissa kuulemme puheenvuoroja Joensuun fotoniikan historiasta\, nykytilasta ja tulevaisuuden näkymistä. \n\n\n\nTapahtuma tarjoaa tilaisuuden verkostoitumiseen ja keskusteluun alan kehityksestä. Ja myös mahdollisuuden tutustua ylipäätään fotoniikan maailmaan. \n\n\n\nJuhlaseminaarimme yhteydessä järjestämme myös avointen ovien tapahtuma\, johon on mahdollista osallistua seminaarin yhteydessä. \n\n\n\nJuhlaseminaari järjestetään tiistaina 27.5.2025 Itä-Suomen yliopistolla salissa M100 (Metria\, Yliopistokatu 7) kello 12 alkaen. Tapahtuma on kaikille kiinnostuneille avoin. Seminaari on pääosin suomenkielinen \n\n\n\nIlmoittautuminen juhlaseminaariin torstaihin 22.5. mennessä kahvitarjoiluja varten tästä.  \n\n\n\nJuhlaseminaarissa ääneen pääsevät esimerkiksi:  \n\n\n\n\nJoensuun kaupungin tervehdys Jere Penttilä\, kaupunginjohtaja\, Joensuu\n\n\n\nFotoniikan valoisa tulevaisuusTapio Määttä\, rehtori\, UEF\n\n\n\nHolografiasta se fotoniikkatutkimus Joensuussa alkoiKai Peiponen\, emeritusprofessori \n\n\n\nFotoniikka tässä ja nytJyrki Saarinen\, fotoniikan tutkimuskeskuksen johtaja\, UEF\n\n\n\nTie yliopiston fotoniikasta kansainväliseksi liiketoiminnaksiVeli-Pekka Leppänen\, toimitusjohtaja\, Nanocomp\n\n\n\nTieteen tulevaisuusPaula Eerola\, pääjohtaja\, Suomen Akatemia\n\n\n\nTie utopiaan kulkee fotoniikan kauttaRisto Linturi\, tulevaisuuden tutkija \n\n\n\n\nTarkempi ohjelma julkaistaan tällä sivulla myöhemmin. \n\n\n\nAvoimet ovet \n\n\n\nJuhlaseminaarin yhteydessä on kävijöillä myös tilaisuus tutustua erilaiseen fotoniikkaan konkreettisesti. \n\n\n\nAvoimet ovet pidetään Metria rakennuksen ala-aulassa (Yliopistokatu 7) kello 10-18. Mahdollisuus tutustua esimerkiksi VR/AR-teknologiaan\, virtuaaliseen laboratoriokierrokseen\, laser-kaiverrukseen ja spektrikuvaukseen.

SUMMARY:Valoa perheille -tapahtuma
DESCRIPTION:Kuva: Anne-Maria Kankaisto\, Business Joensuu\n\n\n\nItä-Suomen yliopisto yhdessä Itä-Suomen yliopiston LUMA-keskuksen ja Fotoniikan lippulaiva PREIN:n kanssa kutsuvat sinut osallistumaan “Valoa perheille” -perhetapahtumaan\, joka järjestetään nyt neljännen kerran Joensuun Botanian upeissa maisemissa lauantaina 3. toukokuuta 2025 klo 10–14. \n\n\n\nTapahtuma tarjoaa monipuolista ohjelmaa kaikenikäisille ja -tasoisille osallistujille. Teemana tänä keväänä on tutkimusmatka Planeetta Botanialle! Lapsille (n. 3–12-vuotiaille) järjestetään inspiroiva valoaiheinen seikkailu\, jossa ratkotaan valoaiheisten tutkimusten kautta Planeetta Botanian erikoisia ominaisuuksia. Seikkailu sopii pienimmille aikuisen kanssa ja isommille itsenäisesti. \n\n\n\nTapahtumassa voit myös valmistaa äitienpäivälahjan tärkeälle henkilölle fotoniikan eli valotieteen teknologian avulla. Lisäksi kaikki tapahtumaan osallistuneet pääsevät tutustumaan Taidepuutarha Botanian lumoavaan ympäristöön. Tapahtuma on avoin kaikille ja maksuton! Tule siis mukaan viettämään mukavaa päivää perheesi kanssa ja juhlistamaan samalla Kansainvälistä poikienpäivää sekä äitienpäivää. Lisätietoja saat ottamalla yhteyttä Iiro Muhoseen sähköpostitse iiro.muhonen@uef.fi tai puhelimitse 050 324 2548.  \n\n\n\nIn English\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\, which will be held for the fourth time in the stunning surroundings of Joensuu’s Botania on Saturday\, May 3\, 2025\, from 10 AM to 2 PM. \n\n\n\nThe event offers a diverse program for participants of all ages and skill levels.

SUMMARY:PhotonHub demo course on Spectral imaging and its applications
DESCRIPTION:Spectral 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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 applications; \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\nFor more information\, please see HERE. To register to the event\, please contact Sidra Tul Muntaha by email: sidra.muntaha(a)photonics.fi

SUMMARY:Spectral Imaging and its Applications
DESCRIPTION:Spectral 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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 applications; \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\nFor more information\, please see HERE. To register to the event\, please contact Sidra Tul Muntaha by email: sidra.muntaha(a)photonics.fi
