Florence Biophotonics Workshop
The Florence OASIS workshop will take place during the 3rd International Conference on
BioPhotonics 2015, in the CNR Florence Area, 20th-22nd May 2015.
The International BioPhotonics Conference has been established in the last few years as a
high-level meeting in the area of light-based techniques for medicine, life science,
agriculture, environmental science and many other areas of application.
An exhibition with the participation of well-established international companies, working in
the field of biophotonics will be organized.
Objectives of the workshop
10 companies from the OASIS clusters will have a free registration to the conference and the
opportunity to:
- participate as an exhibitor in the OASIS Booth;
- give a talk during the exhibitor showcase;
- meet Tuscany SMEs and facilities
Workshop Venue
The CNR Area, the same location of the 3rd International Conference on Biophotonics.
