CARLA Camp 31 May & 1 June 2022

Together with the industrial and academic photonics communities, we are creating inclusive pan-European photonics career camps aimed at university students and early-stage researchers (graduates, undergraduates, Master’s students, PhD students and early stage post-docs) from all STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and Photonics focused areas. It will give you a peek into the vast opportunities that the photonics careers landscape offers and provide you with a roadmap for better employability.
Date: 31 May & 1 June 2022
Time: 10:00-18:30/21:00
Location: TUDelft (Delft, NL) on the 31, HTC (Eindhoven, NL) on the 1st
Listen to inspiring presentations about Photonics careers and testimonials and network with experts from academia and industry in a casual atmosphere with food and drinks included.
There will be included a visit of TNO (Delft) and of ASML (Eindhoven)
We have a great list of invited guests, expert on photonics from all the Netherlands:
Silvania Pereira | TUDelft |
Andrea fiore | TU Eindhoven |
Arie den Boef | ARCNL |
Joseph Peller | Wageningen University |
Gijs van Soest | Erasmus Medical center |
Itir Dogru Yüksel | Utrecht University |
Ad Lagendijk | Twente University |
Esther Alarcon Llado | AMOLF |
Michel Orrit | Leiden university |
Luca Maresi | European Space Agency |
For the program of each day, see the flyer below. You can register to this link before the 20 of May 2022. Be the first one!
