ReNEW 2025

Join us for an engaging workshop aimed at fostering collaboration among leading research groups in the field of modern nanophotonics. The event introduces young researchers and students to the latest advancements in this developing area and offers a unique environment for learning, exchanging ideas, and inspiration for further research endeavors.

The first three days will be dedicated to lectures from famous scientists in the field of Nanophotonics. The final two days of the workshop will feature an intensive Masterclass on Theoretical Modeling of Resonant Nanophotonic Systems. Participants will gain hands-on experience in numerical and/or analytical modeling techniques to explore the optical properties of plasmonic and semiconductor resonant nanostructures. Our experts will guide you in enhancing your skills using the COMSOL Multiphysics software, as well as assist you in developing your own computational tools based on Fourier Modal Method and other approaches.
