We are proud to announce that the National Optics Congress 2024 will take place in Odense on February 27th and 28th.
Just like last year we are happy to announce that DOPS will sponsor both the conference, food transport and accommodation for all student members enrolled at a Danish university. Just sign up using the “Student” option.
Venue, Transport and Accommodation
This year we are visiting Syddansk Universitet in Odense with the prominent Mads Clausen Institute, known internationally for its strong photonics program.

Parking is available at SDU campus which is also conveniently reached with public transport by tram directly from Odense Central Station.
For student participants:
If you are a student participant we offer an all expenses paid conference experience including transport and accommodation.
We have booked dedicated busses from Copenhagen taking you directly to the conference. To join the busses simply chose the appropriate option for where you would like depart from. The bus ride also serves as a convenient opportunity to start getting to know your likeminded friends.
The bus from Copenhagen departs from DGI-Byen, Tietgensgade 65, 1704 København V, Denmark at 7:00 on Tuesday and will depart from SDU at 15:00 arriving in DGI byen around 17:30 on Wednesday depending on traffic.
We will also book rooms at local hostels for those who are interested. This will be booked separately later so don’t hesitate to sign up for the conference today.
At DOPS We recognize the importance of networking and knowledge sharing as some of the most important keys to a successful career in any field of science including optics and photonics and something that is not often offered to students in their early career. In the Danish optics community we believe it doesn’t have to be this way and have decided to sponsor all students who are interested in taking their career serious and wants to be part of our thriving community.
Program
Every year DOPS invite speakers from across the diverse field of applications represented in our Danish community. This years speakers cover subjects as different as Quantum Optics, Plasmonics, Hyperspectral imaging and White Light Lasers.
