Tuan Vo-Dinh1239156This project involves the organization of the conference EUROPT(R)ODE XI, which is part ofthe Europt(r)ode Conference series, which encompasses all aspects related to the research,development and applications of optical chemical sensors and biosensors.Intellectual MeritThe EUROPT(R)ODE XI Conference, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, April 1-4, 2012, willdiscuss the latest advances in this competitive and evolving field of optical sensors. TheConference is the premier worldwide forum for the presentation of innovations in opticalsensing, showing both cutting-edge integration concepts and key emerging trends in a highlymulti-disciplinary atmosphere. This biannual Conference presents an exceptional opportunity,of interest to both academic and industrial researchers, to discuss and exchange the latestdevelopments in this extremely challenging field. There is no other Conference specificallydevoted to optical (bio)sensing, thus making this meeting unique at the international level.Broader ImpactThe Europt(r)ode conference series has become a major scientific meeting on optical chemicalsensors and biosensors attracting scientists and educators from across the globe. Because of themultidisciplinary nature of the field, Europt(r)ode has always brought together a diverseaudience including scientists and engineers in physics, chemistry and biology all over the world.Their engaging discussions have stimulated interdisciplinary and international collaborationsand helped shape scientific and academic institutions from which several generations of PhDstudents have graduated. The Conference has also fostered increasing collaborations betweenacademia and industry and stimulated countless new commercial spin-offs in the field.Companies participate regularly not only at the level of exhibitors but though invited and oral orposter presentations. The Conference in 2012 will have, as a main novelty, an exclusiveIndustrial Session by invitation, where the main industrial players in the field will highlightscientific innovations and technological transfer in the optical sensing field.
