When Light and Materials met on 10 October 2023, over 250 participants attended the sessions at Palaestra and the poster sessions in AF-Borgen. The organising committee consisting of Christelle Prinz, Francesca Curbis, Joakim Bood, and Tönu Pullerits had put together an exciting program on the theme Light Meets Materials. The program included updates from the research environments within the profile area, plenary talks, and poster pitches. During the afternoon parallel sessions invited speakers presented engaging talks on the topics of Medicine & Light, Energy, Climate & Environment, and Quantum Physics & Technology. More than 80 posters were presented from all areas within Light & Materials.
