The FASLIGHT network update meeting will take place on January 20 and 21, 2025 in Santiago de Compostela (Spain).
Below is the preliminary agenda for the meeting.
Network update meeting – Fundamentals and Applications of Structured Light
Santiago de Compostela, January 20-21, 2025
Idea: Each node will have the opportunity to deliver a longer presentation to highlight their upcoming lines of action and strategies. Additionally, participants from each node will be able to give as many short presentations as needed to share their current results and ongoing investigations. Time will also be allocated for discussions among the partners to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and align efforts within the network.
Objective: to provide an opportunity for network partners to present updates on their recent work and ongoing research, as well as to outline future plans and directions for their activities.
Location: Instituto de Materiales, Avenida do Mestre Mateo, 25, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña
