Skoltech is an international graduate research-focused university that was founded by the group of world-renowned scientists in 2011. Skoltech's curriculum focuses on technology and innovation, offering Master's programs in 11 technological disciplines. Students receive rigorous theoretical and practical training, design their own research projects, participate in internships and gain entrepreneurial skills in English. The faculty is comprised of current researchers with international accreditation and achievements.

The Third Summer School on Nonlinear Photonics begins at Skoltech

The Nonlinear Photonics Summer School kicked off at Skoltech on Monday, August 12. The purpose of the 5-day event is to bring together the world’s leading experts in the field of photonics, emerging technologies and applications, and early-stage researchers. It aims to address problems in across multiple fields of photonics and offers students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas, and to network and gain inspiration from leading professionals working at the cutting edge of photonic science and technology.

The first summer school took place in 2017 in Perm within the framework of the all-Russian conference on fiber optics. The Novosibirsk State University organized the second of its kind in Akademgorodok in 2018.

The topics include laser science and technology, fiber optics, photonic materials and meta-materials, telecommunications, multi-photon bio-imaging, nonlinear photonics for quantum technologies, sensing, spectroscopy, solitons, mid-IR technology and other themes.

Lecture content comprises of fundamental theory, experiment and applications and invited speakers will give 1-hour lectures over the course of 5 days. Up to 40 early stage researchers are participating (both PhD and post-doctoral). The list of speakers can be found at the summer school website.
