Teraoptics

In two weeks, starting on Monday November 29th, GOTL and GREMA groups at UC3M is organizing a training event within the EU funded project TERAOPTICS (https://teraoptics.eu/), aimed at providing the project Early Stage Researchers with an introductory course on Terahertz antennas and Photonic Integrated Circuit design.

This event, held at Puerta de Toledo campus, will be streamed. In case that you are interested in following any of the sessions in the program (see below), register at the TERAOPTICS website:  https://teraoptics.eu/training2/ 

At this address, you will need to click on the link at the line “For further information contact Dr Andreas Klein, TERAOPTICS project manager” to open an inscription form, in which you will be asked to provide a contact email.

In the previous days to the training start, you will receive the link to the streaming page at the given contact email.
