c. Visiting 1-2 companies in the optics/photonics industry For giving chapter members a better chance to understand the optics/photonics
industry, the student chapter will keep arranging companies visiting activities. A
visiting activity to Mapper has been contacted recently. Mapper is a company
based in Delft. The core business of the company are designing and
manufacturing machines for the production of computer chips (integrated circuits
or ICs).
d. Promoting the EOSAM conference EOSAM is the biennial Meeting of the European Optical Society. This time the
meeting will take place at the Delft University of Technology, in October 08 - 12,
2018. Netherlands is the hot spot for photonics in Europe and the strong optics
research and industry in Delft makes it a perfect location to hold the upcoming
symposium. The meeting will include several topical meetings, tutorials, company
visits, workshops, industrial exhibition, and more.
This is a great opportunity to promote the student chapter in the local area. The
student chapter will promote this event and the student chapter itself by using
social media, flyer…etc.
