Call For Papers - CFP

World-reknown researchers discuss the latest developments in the scientific community accompanied by Summer School sessions at the PhD student and postdoctoral level, and by informal breakout sessions for discussion and vendor display viewing. This conference will also features a half-day special Symposium "From Femto-Science to Atto-Science: Sources and Applications" where the prominent keynote and invited speakers will discuss state of the art and future visions of this fascinating field. The fifth in a row, the Europhoton conference has shown to be very popular among the scientists and engineers that have continued to place it on their calendars.

The conference will be held in AlbaNova University Centre close to the main KTH campus, the Stockholm city centre with all main attractions easily accessible by foot or by excellent public transportation.
