Europtrode XI Conference, Barcelona, Spain, April 1-4, 2012

该项目涉及组织EUROPT(R)ODE XI会议，该会议是EUROPT(R)ODE系列会议的一部分，该会议涵盖了与光学化学传感器和生物传感器的研究，开发和应用相关的所有方面。EUROPT(R)ODE第十一届会议将于2012年4月1日至4日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行，会议将讨论光学传感器这一竞争激烈和不断发展的领域的最新进展。该会议是全球首屈一指的光学传感创新论坛，在高度多学科的氛围中展示了前沿的集成概念和关键的新兴趋势。这个两年一次的会议提供了一个难得的机会，学术和工业研究人员都感兴趣，讨论和交流这个极具挑战性领域的最新发展。没有其他专门讨论光学（生物）传感的会议，因此使这次会议在国际层面上独一无二。更广泛的影响Europt(r)ode系列会议已成为光学化学传感器和生物传感器的重要科学会议，吸引了来自全球的科学家和教育工作者。由于该领域的多学科性质，Europt(r)ode一直汇集了来自世界各地的物理学、化学和生物学领域的科学家和工程师。他们参与的讨论促进了跨学科和国际合作，并帮助塑造了几代博士生毕业的科学和学术机构。会议还促进了学术界和工业界之间越来越多的合作，并在该领域激发了无数新的商业附带利益。公司不仅以参展商的身份定期参加，而且还通过邀请和口头或海报演讲的方式参加。2012年的会议将有一个主要的新奇之处，即受邀举办一个专门的工业会议，届时该领域的主要工业参与者将重点介绍光学传感领域的科学创新和技术转让。

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.
