The aim of our school is to bring together leading experts, researchers, and scholars in the field of biomedical optical imaging to share their knowledge, insights, and latest advancements in shaping light in time and space for biomedical applications.

The Ettore Majorana Institute, nestled in the picturesque village of Erice, serves as the venue for the school. It offers an idyllic setting conducive to collaborative learning, stimulating discussions, and valuable networking opportunities. The center will provide the full coverage of the lodging and meals in a single room with a private bathroom in one of the four Monasteries in Erice and the transfer from the airports (Palermo or Trapani) to Erice (one hour by private car). No fees are required to the invited speakers.

Fees are 900 Euros and covers all the expenses apart from the travel expenses to reach either Palermo or Trapani. Shuttles from the two airports will be organized for the arriving and departing days.
