"Humboldt meets Leibniz - Emerging Topics in Optics and Photonics" marks the start of a successful new event series at Leibniz University Hannover. Guided by the motto "Connecting Talents across Generations", twelve research award winners of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and 140 early-career researchers from six different continents convened at Herrenhausen Palace for an exchange of thoughts and experiences concerning scholarly and career-related subjects.
The conference is the first instalment of a new event series developed by Leibniz University in cooperation with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Volkswagen Foundation in order to increase the international visibility of Hannover as a science location. The conference "Humboldt meets Leibniz" will be held every two years focusing on a different topic each time.
