September 5-9, 2022 | Dresden, Germany
Deadline for submission has been extended till 10th April
25th Congress of the International Commission for Optics (ICO) | 16th Intrnational Conference on Optics Within Life Sciences (OWLS)
The World General Congress for Optics and Photonics of the International Commission for Optics (ICO) and the international society on Optics Within Life Sciences (OWLS) will be celebrated from 5th September to 9th September 2022 in Dresden, Germany. The TU Dresden is proud to host the World Congress ICO-25-OWLS-16-Dresden-Germany-2022. The main theme is "Advancing Society with Light", emphasizing the importance of modern light technology for society. The 60+ years anniversary of the laser will be celebrated too. Light has the potential to recognize the origins of diseases, to prevent them, or to cure them early and gently. This is one of the central topics of OWLS, which was founded at the ICO-15 Congress in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1990. Therefore, a special commemorative event of the 30+ years anniversary of the foundation of OWLS in Germany will be organized.
The World Congress ICO-25-OWLS-16 is the most important scientific and technical meeting on all important topics of optics and photonics around the entire world.
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worldwide restrictions accompanied by it, the World Congress was postponed to September 2022. The final format of the conference will be decided upon the pandemic situation in summer 2022 and announced in time. Contributors who cannot attend the conference in person are given the opportunity to present their work as a video.
The pandemic outbreak has demonstrated, how quickly diseases can spread in our world. The World Congress ICO-25-OWLS-16 will support our society for progress in fighting against the corona virus. A new topic on “Optical Technologies Fighting Infectious Diseases” will be included.
The ICO, “the Place where the World of Optics and Photonics Meets”, is an affiliated commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), and a scientific associate of the International Council of Science (ICS). Its objective is to contribute, on an international basis, to the progress and diffusion of knowledge in the fields of optics and photonics. The ICO is an umbrella organization with more than 50 territorial committee members and 7 international academic societies: OPTICA (The society advancing optics and photonic worldwide), SPIE (The International Society for Optics and Photonics - Connect Minds and Advance Light), EOS (European Optical Society), Photonics Society of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), OWLS (International Society on Optics Within Life Sciences), LAM (African Laser, Atomic and Molecular Physics Network), and RIAO (The Iberian American Network on Optics).
