Imeko Conference on Photonics and Education Scheduled for late Summer 2026 (August 31th to September 2nd) https://www.photomet-edumet2026.com/ 2026 IMEKO TC1 TC2 Symposium IMEKO PHOTOMET EDUMET 2026 Metrology in Transition: Education, Photonics, and the Impact of AI & Robotics 31.08.- 02.09. 2026 Klagenfurt / Austria IMEKO CONFERENCE PHOTOMET EDUMET 2026 PHOTOMET EDUMET 2026 will be held in the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt Austria. Across the beautiful alps and the lake Wörthersee the conference will take place in the Lakeside Parke in the near of the Alpen-Adria Universität. Due to the fact of a good connection to the international airports Klagenfurt (Austria) Graz (Austria) and Ljublijana (Slovenia) an easy travel to the conference is guaranteed. The event will bring together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to explore cutting-edge advancements in metrology and their impact across diverse domains such as automotive, healthcare, robotics, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring. The conference program will feature plenary sessions by leading experts, technical tracks, and special thematic sessions. Topics will include innovations in education and training for instrumentation and training, innovations in photonic metrology, advancements in optical sensing, and the integration of optics in next-generation industrial applications. You are invited to present your latest research as an oral presentation or as a poster in front of experts from industry and well prestigious research facilities. Expand your network during a exhibition visit and during the coffee breaks. Due to the fact of the presentation of latest research results in photonics an education you are also invited to join as a listener to the conference. The conference is focused but not limited to the main working topics of IMEKOs technical committee TC1 Education and Training in Measurement Sciences and technical committee TC2 Photonics. The following gives an overview about the main topics.

First every author has to submit an extended abstract (2 pages) which will go to a review process. With a successful first stage result authors will be invited to submit a full paper which will be also reviewed. The International program committee will then decide about the presentation form. The best papers will be also invited to submit an extended version of the paper for the journal Acta Imeko. The call for papers is open and can be downloaded here. KLAGENFURT AUSTRIA The conference venue of Photomet Edumet 2026 is located in the southern region of austria in the city Klagenfurt. The Carinthian capital is a place for year-round moments of happiness, not least because of its excellent location on the southern edge of the Alps. Between Lake Wörthersee and the Lindwurm, the city's landmark, the picturesque Renaissance old town and the idyllic surrounding countryside also offer numerous sporty and active excursion destinations as well as cultural and culinary highlights for inspiring experiences at any time of year. As Austria's southernmost provincial capital, Klagenfurt is also a sporting, culinary and cultural hotspot in the Alps-Adriatic region. The Mediterranean influence can be felt in the mild Carinthian climate, but above all in the cheerful ease that characterizes the mentality. The historic old town with its magnificent buildings and picturesque courtyards as well as numerous cafés, restaurants and shopping opportunities provides a unique backdrop full of Mediterranean flair. The turquoise-blue Wörthersee is also just a stone's throw from the city center and is best explored on foot or by bike via the Lendkanal. The extensive promenade of Wörthersee east bay is the perfect place to unwind - either by swimming, strolling or enjoying a cool sundowner on one of the enchanting sun terraces with a view of the lake.
