The third SchooL on Advanced Light-Emitting and Optical Materials (SLALOM) will be held on June 28-30, 2020. Given the uncertainty of the situation in the world and no predictions on whether the traveling will be allowed by next summer we consider holding the school either in a hybrid format (offilne in Vladivostok, Russia + online) or fully online. Advanced light-emitting and optical materials, including metamaterials, is a platform for future breakthroughs in telecommunications, quantum computing, displays, photovoltaics, and biophotonics.
The world's best experts will give lectures grouped in 2-day course. The lectures will cover the fundamental and technological aspects, as well as the latest achievements in this field. The additional poster section for young participants will provide unique opportunity for exchanging their experience with the world leading experts.

We are going to select 3 (three) best posters and award them with Diplomas and memorable prizes.
The School is organized by the Department of Physics and Engineering of ITMO University together with Far Eastern Federal University with financial support of Russian Science Foundation (grant 19-73-30023).

The application for SLALOM 2021 is open until 16 April 2021. The acceptance results will be announced by 14 May 2021.

You can choose the preferred type of presentation - Oral talk (15 minutes) or E-Poster, or participate without talk.
Please be aware, that due to the limited amount of slots for oral presentations the selection of the talks will be conducted by the Program Committee and you might be offered a different type of presentation after the review.
You need to submit a one-page abstract to apply. The book of abstracts will be uploaded to the website before the School starts.
