The field of complex photonics has grown rapidly in the last decade, generating new exciting science with high technological potential, from wavefront shaping for optical imaging in biological tissue to disorder engineering for integrated photonics or photovoltaics. We think that the field and its progress will benefit from a discussion with contiguous fields on how to capitalize on emerging fundamental concepts and on how to convert them into real-world applications. The proposed workshop, "Complex Nanophotonics at the Interface", aims at generating such discussion in order to identify novel directions and to establish a community of young researchers around this theme. The workshop is indeed aimed at researchers in the early stages of their career, typically within 12 years after obtaining their Ph.D. qualification. The main objective is to bring together multidisciplinary expertise in photonics, nanotechnology, biosensors, imaging and wave physics. Participants will be limited to maintain the small-scale nature of the workshop. Beyond a scientific programme that comprises keynote talks by established researchers and a prominent poster session, the workshop will include a number of evening panel debates with science editors, outreach experts and industrialists. This unconventional format for the workshop wants to stimulate critical thinking, catalyse creativity and foster lively interactions between junior researchers of different backgrounds and fields around the shared interest in complex nanophotonics.

复杂光子学领域在过去十年中发展迅速，产生了具有高技术潜力的新的令人兴奋的科学，从生物组织中光学成像的波前整形到集成光子学或光子学的无序工程。我们认为，该领域及其进展将受益于与相邻领域的讨论，讨论如何利用新兴的基本概念，以及如何将其转化为现实世界的应用。拟议的讲习班“界面上的复杂纳米光子学”旨在开展此类讨论，以确定新的方向，并围绕这一主题建立一个青年研究人员社区。该研讨会确实针对处于职业生涯早期阶段的研究人员，通常在获得博士学位后的12年内。资格主要目标是汇集光子学、纳米技术、生物传感器、成像和波动物理学方面的多学科专业知识。与会者人数有限，以保持研讨会的小规模性质。除了包括知名研究人员的主旨演讲和著名海报会议在内的科学计划外，研讨会还将包括与科学编辑，外联专家和工业家的一些晚间小组辩论。这种非传统的研讨会形式希望激发批判性思维，催化创造力，并促进不同背景和领域的初级研究人员之间围绕复杂纳米光子学的共同兴趣进行生动的互动。
