Call for posters
We are calling for posters which will be on display during the Symposium with an opportunity to discuss the posters at the lunch and coffee breaks. Posters can be on research that is related to the themes of SU2P (posters on other photonics and related research will be accepted):
- Biophotonics, including stem cell imaging and neuroscience photonics
- Solar cell devices and characterisation
- Integrated photonics
- Solid-state laser engineering and nonlinear optics
- Photonics sensors, including environmental science and technology and atom and quantum optic
SU2P
SU2P is a collaboration of six universities that delivers a disruptive new approach to business engagement, with facilitated, flexible interactions between UK industry and university researchers in Scotland and the US.
The Universities of Strathclyde, St Andrews, Heriot-Watt, Glasgow and Stanford together with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), are collaborating in SU2P in the self-funded continuation of the programme initially funded by RCUK. This groundbreaking, commercially-orientated collaboration commenced in September 2009 and builds on Scottish universities’ world-class research outputs in photonics and strong links to Stanford and Caltech.
