LightTalks I: Optics & Photonics Meet-Up

LightTalks is a series of events that aim to empower the UK optics and photonics sector through accessible scientific and industrial talks. With a core focus on strengthening both inter- and intra-community connectivity, LightTalks brings together academia and industry, early-, mid-, and senior-career professionals, and helps break down geographical barriers.

A key feature of each event is the networking session that follows the inspiring talks. These sessions are designed to increase the fluidity of collaboration within the UK optics and photonics ecosystem — facilitating new partnerships, fostering meaningful connections, and enhancing cross-sector awareness.
