CLEO / EUROPE EQEC 2025

The CLEO/Europe-EQEC conference series stands as a premier event in the realm of lasers, photonics, and optical science, presenting new frontiers across various technical domains. This conference is renowned for its comprehensive and prestigious gathering of researchers and engineers from Europe and beyond.

Organized with technical co-sponsorship from the European Physical Society (EPS), the IEEE Photonics Society (IPS), and the Optical Society (OSA), CLEO/Europe-EQEC reflects a robust international presence and a melding of research traditions in laser science, photonics, and quantum electronics. The conference series is distinct in its dual focus: CLEO®/Europe emphasizes applied physics, optical engineering, and the practical applications of photonics and laser technology, while EQEC concentrates on fundamental research, including laser physics, nonlinear optics, and quantum optics.

CLEO/Europe covers a broad spectrum of cutting-edge topics in laser and photonics technology. Attendees will explore advancements in areas such as laser source development, materials science, ultrafast science, fiber optics, nonlinear optics, terahertz sources, high-field physics, optical telecommunications, nanophotonics, and biophotonics. This segment of the conference highlights the latest developments and practical applications in these fields.

Conversely, EQEC delves into the fundamentals of quantum optics, quantum information, atom optics, ultrafast optics, nonlinear phenomena, and self-organization. It also addresses plasmonics, metamaterials, fundamental nanooptics, and both theoretical and computational aspects of photonics. 

The combination of CLEO/Europe and EQEC provides a unique platform for obtaining in-depth overviews and engaging in discussions about recent advances across a wide array of topics. From fundamental light-matter interactions and innovative coherent light sources to technology development and industrial applications, the conference offers a thorough exploration of the field.

As Europe's largest conference on photonics and related research areas, CLEO/Europe-EQEC features a diverse program including plenary lectures, keynote addresses, tutorial sessions, invited talks, contributed talks, and poster sessions. Additionally, the conference includes 12 short courses and joint symposia, further enriching the event's offerings and providing valuable learning and networking opportunities for attendees.
