Education

With the increasing importance of photonics in business and industry, the demand for excellently trained specialists with a photonics background is also growing.

The working group Education of Photonics Austria supports and encourages initiatives with the aim to meet this demand.

The spectrum ranges from events for children and adolescents who are interested in light and optical technologies to university courses and adult education.
