Welcome to the Berlin Optik Student Chapter

We are a group of students in Berlin, Germany, with an interest in Optical Sciences and Engineering. Founded in February 2008, this group belongs to a worldwide network of student chapters, which are supported by OPTICA, SPIE, and EPS.

The objectives of this chapter are:

– to promote awareness of Optical Science and Optical Engineering among the academic and local communities.
– to serve as a means of communication and interaction between students, faculty, and administration.
– to establish interaction between students and local sections and the national headquarters of OPTICA, SPIE, and EPS.
– to broaden the students’ insights on post-graduate opportunities.
