Get out of the lab - get into real systems!

This year's meeting of the priority program Active Microoptics will focus on the development of R&D strategies for the future. This is why two major German research clusters in microsystems engineering, Active Micro-optics and Optical Microsystems are joining forces.

We are particularly pleased to welcome  Professor Dr. Hugo Thienpont from Vrije Universiteit Bruxelles who will give a keynote lecture on "Bringing micro-optics from academia to industry" thus sketching the new strategy of international research in micro-optics.  

Apart from papers and hardware exhibits, the meeting will focus on discussing the future of micro-optics research. An open space debate will  be the central element of the gathering intending to develop new strategies for the cooperation between research and industry.
