Planned Activities for the Future:
Next year we plan to continue our last year's activities. In addition, we intend to increase the number of educational events, for example, a series of lectures on optics and photonics for students of local schools, popular science lectures for anyone interested. More seminars and workshops are planned for students studying disciplines related to photonics at our university. In addition to science popularization, we are engaged in purely scientific activities. We plan to hold interdisciplinary meetings with physicians, pharmacists, biotechnologists and scientists of other specializations.
Tentative schedule of 2018 planned events:
