In 2012, EOSAM moves to Aberdeen (Scotland, UK), the energy capital of Europe. EOSAM will be composed of seven Topical Meetings including two new subjects, Silicon Photonics and Optical Systems for the Energy and Production Industries. In addition, our Grand Challenges of Photonics session will be renewed and, for the first time, EOS will organise its own exhibition with a particular emphasis on offshore applications, the core industrial activity of Aberdeen. EOSAM 2012 at a glance7 Topical MeetingsWorkshopGrand Challenges of Photonics SessionExhibition focusing on “blue photonics – optics in the sea”Celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the EOSEOS Annual General Assembly 2012EOS Student Reception Topical Meetings & WorkshopTOM 1 - BiophotonicsTOM 2 - Silicon PhotonicsTOM 3 - Nanophotonics & MetamaterialsTOM 4 - Micro-opticsTOM 5 - Organic Photonics & ElectronicsTOM 6 - Nonlinear PhotonicsTOM 7 - Optical Systems for the Energy & Production IndustriesWorkshop on Continuing Education: Short Courses for Industry Abstract submission: 2 April - 7 May 2012
