Nanoscale Quantum Optics Conference and MC Meeting, Prague, Czech Republic

The Nanoscale Quantum Optics (NQO) Workshop in Prague will be the occasion to present and discuss the recent progress in NQO of all working groups (WGs). The scope is also to discuss future opportunities for international cooperation like, e.g., the Quantum Technology Flagship, and propositions for the new Framework Programme (FP9). The program consists of four scientific sessions (one for each WG) and three additional sessions: one on Gender Balance, one on COST Actions related to NQO and one on industry, followed by a panel discussion. In addition, there will be two poster sessions with finger food in the evening. Please download the Book of Abstracts here.
