The student conference OPTO Meeting for Young of Researchers had been held in Torun, May 11-

14, 2011. The goal of the meeting was to exchange scientific experience by young researches and to

help students to make first steps towards their future careers under the inappreciable patronage of

invited to experts. The participants came from Ukraine, Sweden, Germany, France, Taiwan, Denmark,

France, Greece, Mexico, South Korea, Ghana and Poland.

The participants of OPTO Meeting for Young Researchers.

According to the SPIE and OSA mission, the field we all met in was mainly optics and photonics. This

was what we are interested in and apply our skills to. It was the sixth time when we met. Everyone

should known that six is a special number: it is the smallest perfect number, there are 6 types of

quarks, atomic number of carbon is 6, there are 6 grammatical cases in Russian language, 6 strings

on a standard guitar, insects have 6 legs, 6 was the number of Arsenal's legendary centre back and

captain Tony Adams. There is definitely something exceptional in this number. And we are pretty

sure the sixth Students’ Chapter Meeting was also outstanding.
