Integrated Photonics Research, Silicon and Nanophotonics (IPR)

IPR is the premier and longest-running topical dedicated to groundbreaking advances in integrated photonics and nano-photonics on all relevant platforms, spanning from fundamental research to industrial applications.

IPR brings together experts from academia and industry for an open discussion on cutting-edge research, trends and challenges.

In 2026, the topical meeting will be organized through three subcategories dedicated to materials and platforms for photonics integration and on-chip devices, applications of photonic integrated circuits and devices, and integrated nonlinear and quantum optics.
