Abstract Submission

1st Call for Papers (PDF)

The POF conferences series is the leading scientific event on all aspects of plastic optical fibers and polymeric optical waveguides, from latest scientific developments to leading-edge industrial applications. Researchers and industry experts are all invited to submit a 200-400-word abstract in English. These abstracts will undergo a review process by the technical program committee. Accepted contributions are invited to submit a full paper (max. 4 papers) to be included and published in the conference proceedings.

Abstracts must include author’s name(s), affiliation(s), position(s), e-mail address(es), and your preferred presentation type, as oral or poster presentation, and keywords. Please indicate your paper’s main topic in the submission process.
