Asia-Europe Silicon Photonics Course 2025
Are you attending the IEEE Photonics Conference or are you looking for the perfect reason to visit Singapore? Don’t miss ePIXfab's Asia-Europe Course & Symposium on Silicon Photonics, happening November 6-8, in collaboration with the National Semiconductor Translation and Innovation Center and A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research's Institute of Microelectronics, NUS, and NTU. This page concerns the course, see this page for the symposium.
- November 6-7 | Silicon Photonics Course
Gain a comprehensive overview of the field, explore the latest advancements, and connect with experts from industry and academia.
The course will take place in the Orchard Hotel (442 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238879) in ballroom 2 on November 6th and ballroom 3 on November 7th. - November 8 | Free Symposium
Listen to experts in the field cover the question: "What new materials are needed to drive PIC applications of the future?"
The symposium will take place in the Multipurpose Hall Fusionopolis Way 2.
Don’t miss this chance to learn, network, and explore the future of photonic integrated circuits!
