Optica Incubator Meetings
The Optica Incubator Program was created to provide unique and focused experiences, providing researchers, engineers and business leaders in niche fields with a valuable opportunity to meet and discuss advances, challenges and opportunities regarding their research. Optica Incubators:
- Target emerging topics and fields that do not have the critical mass needed to support an Optica topical meeting structure.
- Function to further the interest and support of promising topic areas, assessing the broader implications of the topic for future research and application.
- Explore possibilities for greater inclusion and propagation of the topic into peer-reviewed topical meeting and/or congresses or conferences.
- Encourage extensive formal and informal discussion while establishing a sense of community among participants.
- Offer a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual channels of communication—publications and presentations at large scientific meetings..
