Lasers, Photonics, and Optics Technologies Summit
As a member of the organizing committee, I am pleased to welcome you to the 4th Edition of the European Lasers, Photonics, and Optics Technologies Summit (ELOS 2025), to be held from March 10–12, 2025, in Rome, Italy. There is no doubt that optical technologies, including lasers and photonics, are fundamental to modern human life. Today, we are shifting from expansionism and exploitation to sustainability-oriented development. This transition demands new kinds of science and technology. Optical technology is playing a crucial role in this significant turning point, offering high-performance global communication, large-capacity data management, clean renewable energy, and noninvasive medical tools, among countless other applications. This summit aims to bridge the many gaps that persist between academia and industry, basic science and engineering applications, traditional and new exploratory technologies, Western and Eastern sciences, and more. I am confident that participants will not only gain cutting-edge knowledge in their fields but also deepen their mutual friendships during this meeting. Enjoy your time in the beautiful city of Rome, especially during its splendid spring season.
