For Students & Early-Stage Researchers
EOSAM 2026 offers various exciting programs to help students and early-stage researchers advance their careers, including networking events that provide direct opportunities to connect with researchers, industry leaders, and mentors, helping students build meaningful professional relationships.
SUBMIT YOUR ORAL AND POSTER PRESENTATIONS
EOSAM covers all aspects of optics and photonics within several topical meetings and sessions.
You’re invited to submit oral and poster presentations for all topics.
EARLY-STAGE RESEARCHER SESSION (ESRS)
Designed specifically for PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers in the first four years of their research careers, the ESRS provides an opportunity for participants to present preliminary research and engage with peers. This session encourages early-stage professionals to share their ideas, receive feedback, and discuss challenges in their work. Unlike EOSAM Topical Meetings, this session is focused on early, unpublished research that isn't yet ready for formal oral presentations but is still valuable for discussion and development.

STUDENT AWARDS
EOS recognizes and celebrates the bright minds shaping the future of optics and photonics. At EOSAM 2025, outstanding student contributions will be honored with awards, providing students with valuable recognition within the scientific community and helping to boost their early careers. EOS proudly supports and encourages young researchers by rewarding the best student presentations at EOSAM.
TUTORIALS
As an added benefit, EOSAM will provide Tutorials covering Topical Meeting (TOM) and Focused Session topics on Monday, 24 August 2026. These tutorials are designed to offer in-depth insights into various aspects of optics and photonics, providing valuable learning opportunities for all attendees. The tutorials will complement the broader scientific program, allowing participants to explore specific areas in greater detail. The tutorials are free of charge for registered attendees of the conference.
