Scope and Goals
The International School on Plasmonics, Magnetoplasmonics and Applications (ISPMA-2019) aims to provide to participants fundamentals and ongoing developments on the light-nanostructured systems interaction phenomena. In addition, ISPMA-2019 aims to boost this research field in the region and to promote the cooperation between Colombian and foreign research institutions.
About the school
The structure of the school encompasses three main activities:
- Invited and plenary talks (open to all registered participants).
- A set of short courses (limited admission, details below) on the following topics:
• Optical antenas and chiral light matter interactions at the nano-scale
• Magneto-optics and magnetoplasmonics
• Light Scattering theory and optical forces on small particles
• Nanobiophotonics
• Thermoplasmonics - Poster session (open to all registered participants). Participants are encouraged to apply even with preliminary results. Download the abstract template (.doc).
Participation
Accordingly, ISPMA-2019 attempts to encourage advanced undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students, and young researchers to start the fascinating road of scientific research in the field of light-nanostructured systems interaction. Based on the submitted applications, the Committee will select up to 40 participants to be admitted in the courses. The rest of activities (plenary and invited talks, poster session, and exhibitions) are open to all participants (including those with room in the courses). Presenting authors (poster session) will have priority for the courses attendance. Lectures will be taught by a select group of experimental and theoretical worldwide recognized scientists (Keynote speakers).
Registration fee: There is no registration fee. Traveling, hosting and feeding expenses must be covered by participants. For registration, please go to the application form.
