The social programme with all ETOP attendees will take place on 31 March 2012.Celebration of the "50th anniversary of the Laser" last year has brought the attention on how much laser light and photonics have changed and can further improve the quality of life. Photonics is one of the key enabling technologies, essential to face the "grand challenges" of our time. Indeed it can address and have a strong impact in many application fields such as ICT, healthcare, energy saving and efficiency, security, environmental monitoring, etc. The conference aims to bring scientists from all over the world to meet the Mediterranean Photonics community. The highlights of photonics will be presented and its role for a sustainable development will be discussed. Basic aspects related to advanced materials and technologies (organic materials, photonic crystals, metamaterials, nanoplasmonics, etc.) together with innovative optical components, devices and systems will show the future ahead of us. Students and young researchers will be given space to present their activity and to take the chance of discussing them with senior scientists.This topical meeting is organised in cooperation with the Tunisian Optical Society (Sociétè Tunisienne D'Optique) and follows the XII. Education and Training in Optics and Photonics Conference (ETOP 2012) to be held from 29 - 31 March 2012: www.esprit-prepa.com/etop/.Call for PapersThe Second Announcement & Call for Papers for the 1st EOS Topical Meeting on Photonics for Sustainable Development - Focus on the Mediterranean (PSDM 2012) can be downloaded here.TopicsBiophotonics BiosensorsMicrooptofluidicsBiomedical sensingOptical diagnostic techniquesPhotonic metamaterials and plasmonicsFlourescence diagnosticGreen lightOptics and energy Optics for solar energySolar energy generation - Transmission and storage from thermal to photovoltaic to novel methodsOptics and environment Optical remote sensing of the EnvironmentSensors (hyperspectral sensors, multi-spectral imaging sensors, LIDAR, algorithms and phenomena, green light)ApplicationsOptical communications Fiber opticsModulated laserOptics for quantum computingPhotonics ? based touch screens, silicon photonics, brighter light for communication under the seaOrganic photonics Organic semi conductorsConjugated polymersCarbon nanotubesOptical sensing Capturing and processingSensing air pollutionPhotonics based technique for water processing and waste water treatmentOptical componentstop of pageConfirmed Invited SpeakersIbrahim AbdulhalimBen Gurion University, Department of Electro-Optics Engineering (IL)Surface Plasmon Resonance from Structured Thin Films with Application to BiosensingRui M.

(instead of 350 ?) for full EOS memberstop of pageVenueTunis is the capital of Tunisia and links three different cities: the historical heart Medina, the “European” centre that was built up at the beginning of the 20th century and the new quarters all around that are continuously growing and conferring the modern spirit to the metropolis. The city is seen as an excellent venue for the 1st EOS Topical Meeting on Photonics for Sustainable Development - Focus on the Mediterranean (PSDM 2012) to co-locate the researchers' communities on Photonics from Europe and the Mediterranean countries.The meeting will be held at the Ramada Plaza Tunis, that is ideally located near the beach of the Côte de Carthage and approx. 20 km away from downtown Tunis. Situated at a beautiful site, the Ramada Plaza Tunis offers a variety of leisure and wellness activities, well equipped with an indoor and outdoor pool, a Hammam, sauna and fitness centre.Present your research work at this exceptional place and join our social programme to the historic city of Carthage and the beautiful small village Sidi Bou Said on 31 March 2012! Only a few minutes away from Tunis, the historic city of Carthage offers relicts of a glorious heritage to its visitors.For more than 3.000 years, Carthage belonged to the largest and major economic forces and dominated the Mediterranean Sea with its powerful navy. Step on historic soil and feel the spirit of the past glorious empire by joining our visit to this beautiful city. Another destination will be Sidi Bou Said, a lovely blue and white artist village, gaily perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Tunis.top of pageTravel and AccomodationThe venue can easily be reached by car or by taxi from Tunis-Carthage International Airport in 30 minutes, located 20 km away from downtown Tunis. From the airport, you can transfer to the city by bus or by taxi, both facilities are available outside of the arrival area. We recommend you to go by taxi since travelling by public transport in Tunisia might be quite difficult. Yellow cabs in Tunis operate on a metered fare system and are relatively inexpensive (~10 ? à 20 km).Rooms at a special rate have been blocked at the venue hotel. The booking details and a list of alternative hotels will be published soon.top of pageSponsoring opportunitiesInterested in presenting your products at this EOS Topical Meeting?
