In 2017 The European Conference on Integrated Optics return to Eindhoven at the Science Park of the Technical University of Eindhoven. They will retain the same clear focus on leading edge research, providing a forum for experts from industry and academia to share the latest new thinking and exchange new insights and findings in the fields of integrated optics, optoelectronics and nanophotonics.

The conference scope extends from new enabling materials to the design and modelling of photonic structures, functions, devices and circuits. They also capture innovations in hybrid integration, SoC and system-in-package integration. Application areas range from optical tele- and data communications; optical interconnects, switching and storage; data and information processing, including integrated quantum circuits; and optical monitoring and sensing, including mid-IR photonics. Conference topics include for example:
