Program Highlights
This year’s symposium places a special emphasis on interactive workshops and educational sessions — spanning synchrotron research, advanced laser sources, ultrafast phenomena, laser processing of materials, and sustainable materials and technologies — alongside the main conference on optics and high-technology material science.
Workshop on Ultrafast Phenomena
Mon 2 Nov 2026
Time-resolved studies of ultrafast phenomena in matter — photoinduced phase transitions, nonlinear phononics, carrier and lattice dynamics, and terahertz spectroscopy — across solids, liquids, gases and biological samples on femto- to picosecond timescales.
Workshop on Advanced Laser Science and Applications
Tue 3 Nov 2026
Advanced laser sources and technologies — ultrafast, high-power and novel emitters — driving progress in photonics, spectroscopy and materials research.
3rd Workshop of Ukrainian Synchrotron and Neutron Community
Wed 4 Nov 2026
Organised by the Ukrainian Synchrotron and Neutron Community (USyNC), this workshop aims to advance synchrotron- and neutron-based research in Ukraine. It will highlight the latest developments in X-ray and neutron scattering, spectroscopy, and imaging techniques, with opportunities to engage with leading experts and explore applications in materials science and technology.
Workshop on Laser Processing of Materials for Advanced Optoelectronic Applications
Thu 5 Nov 2026
State-of-the-art laser processing and laser–matter interaction for patterning, thin-film modification and fabrication of advanced optoelectronic materials and devices.
Workshop on Sustainable Materials and Technologies for Optoelectronics and Sensors
Thu 5 Nov 2026
Eco-friendly materials and sustainable technologies for photonics, optoelectronics and sensing — perovskites, two-dimensional materials and energy-efficient device fabrication.
