20th Edition of the Workshop on Materials Processing with Laser Technology

METAMORPHA will participate in this event; see the website for more info.

BILASURF is a European initiative to develop a solution for surface functionalisation, which aims to reduce friction and improve the environmental footprint of industrial parts.

This webinar presents the final results of BILASURF after three years of research and development focused on advancing bio-inspired surface technologies for industry.

This session will showcase how laser surface functionalization can improve the performance of industrial components by reducing friction and enhancing energy efficiency, particularly in complex 3D geometries.

The 4th edition of the Manufacturing Partnership Days will take place on 16–17 September 2026 in Brussels, at SILO, in the framework of the European Manufacturing Conference.

The Manufacturing Partnership Days have established themselves as a key annual meeting point for Europe’s manufacturing research community. The event brings together representatives from industry, research organisations, European institutions, and projects  to exchange views, present project results, and discuss strategic priorities for manufacturing research and innovation in Europe.

COLA2026 is an interdisciplinary conference and the topics cover a wide range of scientific research that bridges the gap between basic science and applications / technology.

The 18th COLA conference will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, from September 14-18, 2026, and promises to be an exceptional gathering of laser scientists, end-users, students and industry professionals from around the world.

METROMEET is an important annual conference in the sector of Industrial Dimensional Metrology. The conference has been held in Bilbao (Spain) since 2003.

Embedded Systems Week

IEEE/ACM Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK) is an event covering aspects of hardware and software design for intelligent and connected computing systems. By bringing together three leading conferences, (CASES, CODES, EMSOFT), one symposium (MEMOCODE), and several workshops, tutorials, and education classes, ESWEEK allows attendees to benefit from a wide range of topics covering the state of the art in embedded systems research and development.

Laser beam shaping is essential in various industrial processes that require enhanced precision and accuracy. This meeting is focused on laser beam shaping technologies and their industrial applications in laser material processing, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, printing and laser writing, medicine and biotechnology, and laser communication and imaging systems. Join this online industry meeting on laser beam shaping for innovative applications and understand how precise control of laser beams can enhance efficiency, accuracy, and performance in these processes.

The NILindustrialday is an international annual meeting focusing on industrial applications of Nanoimprint Lithography. The program consists of invited speakers from industry (users, material and equipment suppliers) as well as from applied research.

LIMES partner OPTIMAL will hold its final workshop as part of this important industrial event.

In 2026, laser manufacturers and laser users from various industries will meet for the 15th time at the biennial AKL – International Laser Technology Congress.

A wide range of Live Presentations and Exhibits at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT and Companies in the Institute’s Application Center. Visit only in combination with a conference ticket valid for the day.

Laser, Component and System Manufacturers showcase their products at the accompanying conference Exhibition.

The 2026 Photonics West Exhibition will cover two locations at The Moscone Center: the lower levels of North and South buildings of Moscone Center and the first level of the Moscone West building.
