Photonics Days Jena Team
The Photonics Days Jena is an international career and networking event for students and doctoral candidates in optics and photonics, aimed at connecting talented young professionals with attractive employers from the industry since 2019. Optics and photonics are essential for the future, contributing significantly to solutions for current and upcoming challenges.
Their potential, particularly in digitization, is highly regarded, and young scientists are crucial for driving innovations in this field. To support this, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF, in collaboration with the Max Planck School of Photonics, organizes the annual Photonics Days Jena.
At this event, students and doctoral candidates can network face-to-face with representatives from renowned photonics organizations. Even before graduation, they can explore career opportunities, receive personal advice, and build valuable connections.
The Photonics Days Jena serve to bridge the gap between academia and industry by equipping young scientists with the knowledge and skills advantageous for job applications. Representatives can showcase their companies, providing a tangible experience that fosters professional development.
The Photonics Days Jena team is proud to be able to offer the event to students free of charge:
workshops, keynotes, lectures, labtours and other program items offer students exclusive insights into research and industry.
Presentations by renowned scientists such as Nobel Prize winners and professors make the event a highlight of the research branch.
The event would not be possible without the outstanding commitment of our research scientists,
the institute management, the many external speakers and the numerous interactive courses offered by our partners.
A big thank you to everyone!
We look forward to offering you a varied and entertaining program again this year
and to spending a pleasant and informative time with you!
We are looking forward to meeting you!
