Menhir Photonics Sponsors the 2026 Siegman International School on Lasers

Menhir Photonics is proud to sponsor the 2026 Siegman International School on Lasers, one of the world’s most prestigious week-long programs for emerging laser scientists and engineers.

Taking place from August 30 to September 5, 2026, in Milan, Italy, the Siegman International School brings together up to 100 graduate students from around the world to learn directly from pioneering laser researchers and industry leaders. Held at the National Research Council (CNR) – Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies and Politecnico di Milano, the program has become a cornerstone event for the global photonics community.

Named after Anthony Siegman, a founding figure in laser science and former Optica president, the school embodies a commitment to both technological advancement and nurturing the next generation of innovators. Attendees not only benefit from world-class lectures and hands-on learning but also present their own research, building invaluable connections with peers and mentors that often shape their careers.
