About SCOPOSIS
SCOPOSIS 2025 is a joint event that brings together the decadal edition of the Student Conference on Optics and Photonics (SCOP) and the 48th Optical Society of India Symposium (OSIS) . This unique collaboration highlights the growth and importance of optics and photonics research across India and the world.
SCOP has long been an important platform for the exchange of scientific ideas, enabling students, researchers, and scientists from various fields of optical sciences and technology to collaborate. SCOP is organised annually by the Optica Student Chapter at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad for graduate students and early career researchers in India.
The annual symposium of the Optical Society of India is one of India’s flagship conferences in the field of optics and photonics, drawing renowned scientists and innovators to discuss scientific advancements, technological innovations, and related instruments.
Why be present at SCOPOSIS 2025
SCOPOSIS 2025 will span five days, featuring over 100 invited talks, 75 contributory talks, plenary talks, evening lectures, and more than 200 poster presentations, offering a deep dive into cutting-edge research in optics and photonics. A highlight of the event will be a two-day workshop for students with 15+ tutorials, followed by a three-day conference.
Hosted at PRL, the birthplace of India’s space program, SCOPOSIS 2025 will also provide an opportunity to discuss ongoing research at PRL, alongside visits to the laboratory’s optical science facilities.
This collaborative event promises to be a dynamic and vibrant gathering for all those passionate about advancing the field of optics and photonics!
