The Future of Photonics event is a dedicated session during PIC Summit 2024 highlighting recent results from research and industrial labs for the use of photonics and photonic integrated circuits. In this year’s edition we  focus on two new applications fields for photonics: health and spintronics. 

Registering for the PIC Summit - Future on Photonics event will also give you free access to the full programme of PIC Summit Eurppe on Wednesday 16 October 2024.

Do you want to learn what exciting new applications are going to emerge in integrated photonics and the use of light? Then join us on Wednesday the 16^th of October at the Evoluon in Eindhoven.
