Are you interested in understanding why photonics has a such high potential in our society? Our near future is going to be shaped by Deep Tech. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence or Quantum Computation are closely related to light-based technologies. In this webinar we want to present the Master in Photonics, a professional training based on photonics, that helps us to see the impact of this field in the real world.

The Master in Photonics is a professional training programme offered jointly by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) and the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO).

Addressed to

Students and graduates in Physics, Engineering, Technical, Production, R&D and Innovation Directors of companies and research centres.

Language

This free webinar will be in English.
