European Optical Society

The European Optical Society, established in 1991, is a European organisation for the development of the science of optics. Membership is open to national optical associations, societies, individuals, companies, organisations, educational institutions, learned and professional societies. EOS manages international conferences; lobbies for optical science at European level; provides a focus for collecting and disseminating knowledge in the field, and publishes the online journal JEOS:RP. In the sight of the society, optics as a science, technology, and base for industry, consumer goods, and health care makes a notable contribution to society and has a great potential for further development. The purpose of the society is to contribute to advance in optics and related sciences, and to promote their applications at the European and international levels, by unite individuals and legal entities involved in these disciplines and their applications. The European Optical Society serves as the joint forum for all individuals, companies, organisations, educational institutions, and learned and professional societies, who acclaim the opportunity and challenge that a common European base provides for the development of optics in its wide sense. With the support of the national optical societies of many European countries, EOS seeks to deliver a powerful joint representation for optics in Europe.
