An annual event which brings together academia for active discussions and fruitful interactions on various aspects of Photonics

Slider

International School of Photonics, established in 1995, has been conducting Annual Photonics Workshop, a national event which brings together leading scientists, academicians, industrialists and young researchers in the country for active discussions and fruitful interactions on various aspects of Photonics, for last several years. This annual event is conducted in the form of National Photonics Symposium (NPS) from 2017. The aim of NPS is to enlighten the budding scientists to find newer directions for research through active discussions and collaborative research. We hope to provide the best platform for all participants to exchange the latest and advanced research with other specialists and scholars in the field by bring in the best scientists in India and abroad to deliver invited lectures and plenary talks apart from contributed papers. On 28th February, there will be a special session to celebrate National Science Day. In 2021, NPS is conducted as an all virtual International Conference during February 27 to March 01, 2021, to mark the completion of 25 years of International School of Photonics.
