The second-year students of the Master of Science in Photonics Engineering (VUB-UGent) are leaving for internships worldwide this summer. Some of them are reporting about their journey live on Instagram in the coming weeks!

B-PHOT will host the PhotonHub Experience Centre on 'Optics and Freeform Optics' in Brussels from 18 to 20 October 2023. Join our researchers in their labs and discover the basic technical insights and skills in optics and freeform optics design, prototyping, metrology and manufacturing.

Ecosystems: a term that we encounter more and more in the media. It is even said that companies and organizations will have a hard time in the future if they do not become part of it. But what does it mean? In what forms will we encounter them and how does it relate to the traditional networks we already know?

With the signing of an exclusive licensing deal, BIO INX becomes the latest spin-off from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and Ghent University (UGent). It’s working on developing organic inks to produce human “spare parts” with the help of 3D printers.

In a talk with Universiteit van Vlaanderen, B-PHOT researcher Koen Vanmol explains what we do at the VUB Photonics Campus, how glass fiber internet works and how he can produce tiny freeform lenses.

B-PHOT's Post-Doctoral researcher Dr. Pablo Marin-Palomo has obtained an FWO Post-Doctoral Fellowship from Research Foundation - Flanders.

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (B-PHOT) & the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) are looking for a senior Researcher in the context of the FED-tWIN programme to develop a new space mission for the measurement of the Earth's Energy Imbalance through innovative optical & thermal instruments with high accuracy and stability.

Last week, the full B-PHOT team left the labs and offices for a three-day off-site meeting with inspiring seminars, creative workshops, delicious meals and relaxing activities. A perfect time to bring our amazing group together in Affligem, Belgium!

The Uzbek universities participating in the INMACOM project have paid a visit to the facilities of VUB and UGent in the framework of a collaboration between Belgium and Uzbekistan to set up a master's programme in photonics and optical communications.

The 'Journal of Physics: Photonics' has published an article on the composition of nonlinear-optical data tables for emerging materials. The paper is a collaboration with twenty international experts under the coordination of B-PHOT researcher Prof. Nathalie Vermeulen.

B-PHOT welcomed Flemish Minister Jo Brouns to our Photonics Campus and its research infrastructure. The Minister was very interested in the groundbreaking Einstein Telescope project and the investments provided by the Flemish government.

It's International Day of Light! Celebrate light and the important role it plays in life! To honour our 'official holiday' at B-PHOT, we have organised a contest together with the B-PHOT Student Chapter: participate to win a cool prize!
