The eighth edition of our ISLIST summer school (VIII-ISLIST) is scheduled for June 16-20, 2025 with the core topic " Light in Energy, Environment and laser manufacturing" . See here the final report from the previous edition.
This school is envisioned to be a worldwide top International forum (every fourth week of June) on Light Sciences and Technologies in the framework of a “special top university” that is recognized as the “university of universities” and in a privileged environment “the Royal Magdalena Palace” in Santander, Cantabria, Spain. Each edition of this international school will have an intensification or main core in a specific application area and additional current hot topics. Light in Energy, Environment and laser manufacturing will be the core of 2025 edition.
ISLiST has been conceived as a great opportunity to review, actualize and improve the knowledge of scientists, professionals and technicians; to contribute to the education and to enhance the motivation of PhD students; to offer an ideal frame for networking and also to contribute to the education of the citizens. It is also a great opportunity to ensure that policymakers, entrepreneurs, and other key “actors” will be aware of the problem-solving potential of Photonics.
¡New! the final report of the 2024 edition is here.
