This symposium is aimed at bringing together some of the most exciting recent trends in this broad field of science, spanning from nanophotonics and metamaterials all the way to ultrafast science, nonlinear spectroscopy and quantum matter.

This invitation-only event will feature 30 speakers (see tentative list below), who will present for 45 minutes each a tutorial-like talk, with the goal of making topics accessible to the different communities attending the event, which will also include a good number of graduate students.

The event will take place in the wonderful settings of the Grand Hotel San Michele, with its stunning surrounding and a private beach.

There will be ample time for networking, research discussions and interactions across the workshop. We encourage you to bring your own students to this week-long event and to stay for the entire duration of the workshop.
