Will the twenty-first century be the age of optics? On 21 and 22 October 2020, researchers will discuss this and other questions in an interdisciplinary and intergenerational context in Hannover. Initiated by Leibniz University Hannover, the new networking event will be held every two years focusing on a different topic each time. Under the slogan “Connecting Talents Across Generations”, the event brings together Alexander von Humboldt award winners and young researchers from Germany and abroad.

The programme encourages interaction and includes scientific forums as well as opportunities for sharing experiences, networking and discussing topics relevant to career development. This year’s event will address current research questions in Optics and Photonics; 14 award winners of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation from the United States, Canada, Australia, France and South Africa are expected to attend.

Young researchers from Leibniz University Hannover as well as other universities or research facilities in Germany and abroad may apply to participate until 20 April 2020.
