News (cont’d)ICO Newsletter July 2006 – Issue 68International Commission for Opticshttp://www.ico-optics.orgICTP Winter College on Quantum and Classical Aspects of Information Optics, 30January –10 February: ReportAmong the many activities that the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) organizes every year, there is animportant activity related to optics and photonics, the Winter College dedicated to relevant subjects with an interest forthe training of young researchers from all over the world, and, in particular, addressed to researchers from less favoredregions. This year the Winter College was dedicated to quantum and classical aspects of information optics, and appearedto be quite successful – to both Organizers and the participants.

To this unique occasion his colleagues of the University of Erlangen organized a two day internationalbirthday symposium under the lemma: “50 Years of Information Optics”. The celebration was held 7-8 April.Call: The 9th International Conference on OWLS (OWLS9) – NYMU Biophotonics 2006The International Conference on Optics Within Life Sciences (OWLS) is one of the major principal forums for scientists,engineers and research students to exchange topical research and development information and to stimulate discussion onnovel applications and concepts. Following previous OWLS meetings, NYMU Biophotonics 2006, will be an interdisciplinarymeeting devoted to biophotonics and nano-photonics, covering all applications of optics and lasers in the life-sciences,including biology, medicine, environmental sciences, and clinical applications.Further information of OWLS9 is available at: http://www.owls9.com.twNews on Argentinean Territorial Committee: New representativeThe Argentinean Territorial Committee has elected recently a new President for the period 2006-2008: Prof. Hector Rabal,a researcher at the Centro de Investigaciones Opticas (CONICET-CIC) and professor at the University of La Plata.Forthcoming events with ICO participation:4-7 September 2006ICO Topical Meeting onOptoinformatics2006/Information Photonics2006Saint Petersburg, RussiaContact: Dr. Alexander V.

Prominenttechnology leaders will provide theattendees with in-depth instructionon a variety of subjects, includingDisplay Technology, and Non-linearImpairments in CommunicationSystems. Do not miss the opportunityto enhance your knowledge, andadvance your research and career goals– join LEOS and attend the shortcourses this year’s LEOS Annualmeeting.For more information about theoffered short courses please visit the conferenceweb site: http:// www.ieee.org/organizations/society/leos/LEOSCONF/LEOS2006/index.htmlAttendees who are not LEOSmembers will have to either pre-registeror register on site and pay theshort course fee to attend and toreceive the short course notes.LEOS members will be charged a$20 fee for each short course’s notes.Those who register should check-inand pick-up their short course notesbefore the course begins. Others willbe seated as space allows.Careers in ResearchForum at LEOS AnnualBuilding a new tradition the 2006LEOS Annual Meeting is pleased toannounce the 2nd “Careers inResearch” Forum. This new initiativehad a very successful start atLEOS 05 in Sydney, Australia. TheForum will take place on Sunday,October 29th and will include a welcomereception.The forum’s charter is to promotecareer awareness among students andyoung researchers in photonics andrelated fields. Attendees will have theopportunity to: listen to the invitedpresentations from academia, industry,and entrepreneurs highlighting milestonesfor achieving success, interactwith the highlighted speakers, presentposter papers of their research.The “Careers in Research” Forumis soliciting submissions from studentsand researchers for poster presentations.In addition to focusing onthe results specific to the individual,the posters may also highlight thebroader research area of the researchgroup. To be considered the summariesshould be submitted as a partof regular papers submission to LEOSAnnual Meeting. The guidelines forposters will be published under “submittinga paper”.August 2006 IEEE LEOS NEWSLETTER 21
