Please note, preferably register only one person per company for best possible networking.
This EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for Space will delve into the latest advancements and challenges in applying photonics technology to space and new space, in harsh environments. Sessions will cover topics from the lastest development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for space, emerging trends and challenges in the new space, photonics for harsh environments, and the role and challenges of photonics in earth observation for environmental monitoring. Hosted by Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, in Granada, Spain, it offers a unique opportunity for insightful discussions on the role of photonics in space within an environment rich in observatory, astrophysics, and space end-user expertise. The event aims to bring together industry experts to share insights, explore research and development opportunities, and facilitate efficient networking among participants.
