The European Optical Society Annual Meeting, EOSAM, is a major international scientific conference and exhibition covering all aspects of optics and photonics. EOSAM 2024 is organized by The European Optical Society, EOS, in close collaboration with the Italian Society for Optics and Photonics, SIOF, the Italian branch of EOS. EOSAM covers all aspects of optics and photonics within several topical meetings and sessions. It is attended annually by over 500 top researchers, key leaders, students, and industry experts from over 30 different countries all over the world. EOSAM is a great platform for presenting the most recent research results, connecting and catching up, as well as bridging the gap between research, education, and industry. Each year EOSAM moves into different optics and photonics hubs better serving the local communities and at each time creating a unique EOSAM experience for the attendees.
