The SPOF 2018 Summer School on “Topics in Optics for Space & Ground Based Astronomical Instruments” will happen in 10 and 11 of September 2018 at the Physics Department of the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa.

During two days, participants will attend lectures/seminars given by leading university professors and astrophysics and space industry specialists concerning the main challenges and developments in optical design of astronomical instruments for both space and ground segments.

The target audience goes from university students (any year without expertise in optics) to engineers working on this field, or anyone that wants to discover astronomical optical instruments.

Talks will be given in a very informal way where interaction will be encouraged. Official language is English.

The attendance is free but a registration is required (limited to 50 participants, by registration order).

Registration deadline: 4th of September 2018.
