The focus of this topical meeting was the interrelation of the emerging applications and technologies. The meeting was organized in a manner to allow intensive discussions and a fruitful exchange of ideas with a single keynote session and subsequent workshop-style presentations and discussions compiling whitepapers on the research needs of the addressed topics.
The results were the basis for a panel discussion of high ranking representatives of industry and academia working out the focus fields with need for joint action.
Specialized in scope and restricted in number of participants the topical meeting organized in the heartland of Germany’s optics industry gave the opportunity to easily establish contacts and to initiate new research collaborations and business relations.
