ABOUT ETOP
ETOP (Education and Training in Optics & Photonics) is a biennal conference that brings
together educators from around the world to share information about the practice of teaching
optics at all levels. The teaching of optics and photonics, critical fields at the core of today's
world-wide technological infrastructure, must continually be upgraded and renewed in order
to meet the growing demands of research, science & industry. It is the goal of this
international conference to bring together leading optics and photonics educators from all
levels and orientations to discuss, demonstrate and learn about new developments and approaches
to teaching in these fields.
Typical session topics include :
- Education and technological education in optics and photonics (geometrical optics,
electromagnetic optics, quantum optics, biomedical optics, integrated optics,
diffractive optics, software for teaching, Computer assisted learning)
- Technician Training and laboratory materials for demonstrations,
- Training and continuing education in collaboration with industry
(Entrepreneurship for optics and photonics, student projects in optics
and photonics, Olympiads, …)
- New pedagogical methods, tools and models for education in optics & photonics
- Curriculum development laboratories for optics and photonics education
- Education and training for inter and multidisciplinary applications.
Optics curricula in biomedical optics, micro and nanotechnology and other emerging fields.
