The Optics Group is committed to promoting gender and equality in the field of optics, photonics and sciences. We organize regular talks to share our insights and experiences on topics such as career development, mentoring, networking, and diversity. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all members of the physics community, regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or background.
