European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO)

12 May - 16 May 2013, Messe Munchen, Munich, Germany


Sponsored by OSA and SPIE, the European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO) bring together scientists, engineers, and clinicians who work with optics and photonics to solve problems in medicine and biomedicine. Presentations will cover basic science, novel technology and applications in the areas of advanced microscopy, clinical and biomedical spectroscopy, diffuse optical imaging, molecular imaging, optical coherence tomography and other coherence techniques, therapeutic laser applications, laser-tissue interactions, opto-acoustic methods, and other novel biophotonics techniques. The conference will feature a Best Student Paper Award and a Best Poster Presentation Award.

ECBO 2013 is being held in conjunction with HNODS (Head and Neck Optical Diagnostics Society). For more information on HNODS, please visit www.ucl.ac.uk/hnods/

World of Photonics Congress

This event is part of the World of Photonics Congress. Just like the international trade fair LASER World of PHOTONICS, the World of Photonics Congress is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013: Next year, the international photonics community is meeting in Munich for the 21st time to exchange ideas and information about recent research activities and introduce the latest marketable applications during the five-day conference.

Since it was established, the World of Photonics Congress has developed into the third largest conference in the world with some 5,000 participants from 65 countries: Under the umbrella of the congress, six leading international research organizations bundle their R&D know-how and, in doing so, cover the entire value chain for this key technology, from fundamental research to industrial applications in the widest variety of application sectors.
