ABOUT

ICFO’s School on the Frontiers of Light  aim at giving talented young researchers and students worldwide a first introduction to a thematic research area and a taste of an international research environment.

These schools incorporate a dynamic and social learning environment beyond participating in lectures, including group discussions, direct interactions with the lecturers, student talks and poster presentations.

Interactive sessions will take place in-person in local hubs, with joint activities online across the participating hubs.

Lectures and seminars will be broadcast online and are open to registration from interested students and researchers worldwide.

The schools are funded through generous support from the Severo Ochoa Excellencia program of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, and the Fundació Catalunya la Pedrera.

Travel fellowships for some students to attend these events are supported by the SPIE@ICFO Chair for Diversity in Photonic Sciences.

We do not tolerate any type of conduct or behavior considered harassment or bullying and have clear defined policies against harassment.
