SUMMARY:3rd European Symposiumon Ultrafast Laser driven Biophotonics
DESCRIPTION:For the third time\, the European Symposium on Ultrafast Laser-driven Biophotonics (ESULaB) will create an important platform for professional exchange between scientists from different fields\, including physicists\, chemists\, engineers\, material scientists\, biologists\, biomedical scientists and industry representatives. Taking place this September in Jena\, Germany\, this event promises to provide participants with up-to-date insights into trends and future perspectives that will inspire their own research. \n\n\n\nThe focus is on the latest advances and developments in the field of spectroscopy and imaging\, which are realized through the use of ultrashort laser pulses and contribute to solving biophotonic problems. The broad range of topics includes nonlinear imaging techniques such as SHG/THG microscopy and coherent Raman microscopy for medical diagnostics\, high-resolution imaging of biological structures using nonlinear phenomena (e.g. STED microscopy)\, as well as the use of wavelengths in the EUV/X-Ray range and ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy for the study of biological systems\, including the dynamics of protein folding using 2D spectroscopy. At the same time\, the translation of new diagnostic and biomedical approaches to market introduction and practical application is a key issue.  \n\n\n\nYou can look forward to more than 20 lectures by outstanding scientists in the field of nonlinear biophotonics\, who will present their research. An industry forum as a central part of the conference will again provide plenty of space for professional exchange of views\, stimulating discussions and networking. Users will be presented with the latest technical innovations in the fields of infrared\, Raman and terahertz spectroscopy as well as X-ray and EUV microscopy. \n\n\n\nMore information here: https://www.biophotonics4future.com/esulab2024/

SUMMARY:WEBINAARI: EXHIBITION JA GROUP EXPLORER -RAHOITUSPALVELUIDEN UUDISTUKSET
DESCRIPTION:Business Finland provides Exhibition Explorer funding to support the participation to International Trade Fairs. Photonics Finland member companies benefits this funding when joining to Photonics Finland Pavilions at Photonics West and Laser World of Photonics.  \n\n\n\nExhibition Explorer funding has been reformed so that a maximum of EUR 15\,000 (previously EUR 35\,000) per trade fair project can be granted to a single company. Grants are awarded for up to 50% of eligible costs\, which now applies not only to SMEs but also to midcap companies (previously for midcaps up to 40% of eligible costs). \n\n\n\nThe decrease in the maximum grant per project can be compensated for by companies joining forces and funding by participating in trade fairs at joint stands. Funding will continue to be granted both to separate stand or joint stands of companies. \n\n\n\nThe basic condition for granting funding will continue to be\, with certain established exceptions\, that at least four Finnish SMEs or midcap companies apply for Exhibition Explorer funding for the same trade fair. In the future\, there will no longer be a minimum requirement for the number of SMEs in such a group. \n\n\n\nJoin Business Finland Info Teams webinar on 22.
