Recap Fraunhofer Photonica 2024

Thank you for Fraunhofer Photonica 2024!

During the summer school Fraunhofer Photonica 2024, we took the participants on a journey through the world of photonics from September 15 until September 21, 2024. They visited five institutes in four German cities:  

  • Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST, Braunschweig
  • Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF, Jena
  • Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS, Dresden
  • Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP, Dresden
  • Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, HHI, Berlin

Thank you for your participation!

All venues consisted of an enriching program with the right balance of theoretical foundations, hands-on experience and professionally guided lab tours where no questions remained unanswered.

(Lennard D.)

“Participating at the Fraunhofer Photonica Sommer School allowed me to acquire a lot of information about how the different optics and photonics topics I’ve learnt about at university come together in real world applications.”

(Luisa A.)

“Photonica helped me a lot in deciding what to do next after completing my master’s degree and showed the great work opportunities Fraunhofer has to offer.”

(Tabea F.)
