NEMO Summer School: “Technologies and Applications of Microoptics”
Département d’Optique, FEMTO-ST, UFR des Sciences et Techniques 16 route de Gray, 25030 Besançon, France
Date: 25 August – 5 September 2008
The Summer School on “Technologies and applications of Microoptics” is a training program of NEMO network offering a unique opportunity to experience 10 intensive days of high-level teaching on topics at the heart of microoptics. This includes both highly specialized lectures and hands-on experience in the clean-room and laboratory. Various visits including high-tech companies, as well as a visit to the Institute FEMTO-ST and several social events are included in the course.
The program is ideal for recent graduates and doctoral students in physics or engineering who wish to boost their standing in microoptical technologies. This targets the course particularly to young scientists coming from NEMO partner groups. A maximum of 16 students will be accepted for the course.

InP Photonic Integrated Circuits for Fiber-Optic Communications
IEEE Spectrum Tech Insider - Webcast
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT / 18:00 GMT (Duration: 1 hour)
The Brightest Minds Discussing the Biggest Topics
Presenters: Christopher R. Doerr, Bell Labs, Alcatel Lucent Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters
Randi Reider Flug, Corporate Sales Manager, IEEE
Learn about the latest advancements in photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In this IEEE Webinar, IEEE Fellow Christopher R. Doerr will provide an overview of InP monolithic photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with advanced functionality for fiber-optic networks, including transmitters and receivers. Focus will be on devices for fiber-optic communications that monolithically integrate two or more functions. PICs simplify system design, reduce space and power consumption, and improve reliability. Importantly, because of integration, they can reduce the cost of deploying optical networks. Simple PICs, lasers integrated with electro-absorption modulators (EMLs) in XFPs, are already dramatically lowering the cost of transceivers. More complex PICs are now taking hold.
Who should attend: Telecommunications Design Engineers, Research and Development Engineers, Engineering Management
Moderator: Angela Trilli, Assistant Marketing Manager, IEEE

The OLLA Summer School on OLED Lighting
International Krutyn Summer School 2008 Krutyn, Masurian Lake District, Poland, May 27th - June 2nd 2008 "FRONTIERS IN MOLECULAR OPTOELECTRONICS - ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (OLEDs)"
This International Summer School is organized as a fourth event in a series of training activities conducted in association with the FP6 Integrated Project "OLLA" - "High Brightness OLED-s for ICT & Next Generation Lighting Applications" (http://www.olla-project.org). The School is thought as a high-level and highly intensive scientific event focusing on cutting-edge organic and inorganic materials for OLED-s construction, involving physicochemical and theoretical considerations, synthetic aspects, theoretical modeling, industrial requirements, and roadmap for future development. This Summer School aims at the state-of-the-art training in the form of lectures and tutorials addressed to Ph.D. students and young researchers willing to reinforce their knowledge and skills in the field of molecular optoelectronics. Top experts in this area will deliver lectures and tutorials. The school is intended both for people already active in this R&D field as well as for those new to the field. LOCATION The School will be held in a picturesque and romantic summer resort - the village Krutyn - in Masurian Lake District, easily accessible from Warsaw. The Conference Centre "MAZUR-SYRENKA" provides an excellent conference and accommodation services. Except for the scientific part (lectures and tutorials), there will be a paralel evening "soft skills" programme for personal development. Also, a number of social events will be also proposed to relax after heavily scheduled programme, including: bonfire, excursion, guided or individual out-door activities (kayaking, trekking, horse-riding, bike, etc.). The Local Organizing Committee cordially invites you to take part in this Summer School.

The Photonics Academy
The Photonics Academy is a novel framework for meeting the skills needs of present and potential employees and employers of the photonics industry in Wales. The Photonics Academy (PA) for Wales is conceived as a novel educational and training framework designed to meet the aspirations of students needing skills appropriate to a spectrum of career opportunities within the Photonics industrial sector. A prime driver of the PA is the requirement for making available appropriate expertise to support the development of new business emanating from the OpTIC Technium, St Asaph. More generally, the PA aims to support the growth of industrial activity in photonics technologies in Wales through the enhancement of pertinent technical and managerial skills so as to ensure the continued viability of existing and future commercial enterprises operating in the photonics sector.
