– via A Technical and Professional Development workshop for connecting women in the field
The field of Optics and Photonics is a booming section of the economy and a major research area of interest in India. While the number of excellently trained female students in this field continues to grow, the women leaders in academia, as well as industry, are woefully underrepresented. Supported by SPIE, and other local sponsors, we work together to host a two day workshop each year and combine technical presentations with from established women in the field along with leadership and career development activities as well as provide a forum for face-to-face interactions and networking between leaders in the field and women students, postdoctoral fellows and early career professionals.
This workshop “Women in Optics and Photonics in India (WOPI)” aims to connect enagegd female professionals in the early stages of their careers with established experts in optics and photonics to build a growing community of women pioneers in India and jointly create an environment to develop strategies for personal support and professional success.
WOPI also seeks to create a community that supports each other and help provide mentorship to help you address professional and personal challenges that you might face.
So come join us as we meet around the first week of December each year and help build this community and grow together as leaders of the future of optics and photonics in India.
