Photonics Colloquium

Various guests are invited to speak at this lecture meeting four times a year. We deliberately call these gatherings "colloquia" – from the Latin meaning "to talk together" – in the hopes that it will provide opportunities for experts from many different fields to learn from each other through frank and candid discussions.

Photonics Day

Photonics Day is held at Osaka University campus annually . Every year, guest speakers on chosen themes are invited to share their thoughts and the Photonics Center opens its doors to visitors.

Super HIKARI JUKU

As a part of the Photonics Center's outreach activities, this science class is held annually for fourth- through sixth-grade elementary school students. Under the guidance of student volunteers from the University, participating students learn about the fascinating properties of light as they enjoy experimenting with it and learning about the distinctive characteristics of the forms of light found in their everyday lives.

Photonics Symposium

A group of researchers engaged in advanced photonics research encompassing a broad range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, medical science, and electric engineering, gather together from around the world at this annual event. This symposium aims to develop global leaders in photonics research for future generations through promotion of networking among international researchers hailing from various cultural/social backgrounds.
