IOSA (IO-CSIC OSA-EPS student chapter) carries out several outreach activities to spread Optics Science among general population. This activity is developed by the IOSA members: young researchers and pre- doctoral students of the Institute of Optics (CSIC), working on different fields related to Optics such as visual optics and biophotonics, lasers, digital processing of images, fiber optics, material processing or theoretical and experimental studies on the optical properties of matter. Moreover, IOSA wants to contribute to the professional and scientific development of the students of the Institute of Optics, individually and as a group.

For that reason, IOSA, in collaboration with the Institute of Optics (CSIC), has organized in the last years a series of scientific seminars open to all the staff of the Institute of Optics: technicians, pre- and post- doctoral researchers, as well as senior researchers, including all the IOSA members willing to participate. These seminars aim to create a friendly environment for scientific discussions in the topics of the different lines of research developed in the IO-CSIC. IO-students will professionally and scientifically benefit from these seminars, thus they will have the chance to work in a conference-like atmosphere, to prepare a good talk, to answer tough questions from partners and senior researchers and to be questioned by their peers.

We will count also on the presence as invited speaker of Prof. Javier Alda, from the Faculty of Optics and Optometry of Universidad Complutense (Madrid).

IOSA encourages all the scientific community of the Institute of Optics to participate in the fifth edition of the IOSA scientific seminars for social networking.

A coffee break will be served during the seminars to continue the networking.
