The forum will include an academic presentation part and followed by a round table discussion about the possible student exchanges and the topic of the next year meeting (one hour or less). The academic presentation part (the main one) will be organized around the topic of advanced optical materials and nanophotonics, with the following sub-topics:
• Advanced optical materials for communication, energy harvesting and sensing,
• Surface plasmonic and nanophotonic devices,
• Ultrafast optics.
One French and one Chinese professors will each give a 45min short course, and other more scientifically focused presentations or posters will be added to the two short course presentations. The audience will be enlarged to all interested students.
