The 95th IUVSTA Workshop intends to provide a forum for intense debate and discussion between a small number of experts in the field of Plasmonics. The 95th IUVSTA Workshop will be a fantastic and memorable event, joining the scientific program with a set of social and cultural events in the beautiful City of Guimarães, a 12th century city that was the Cradle of the Nation and classified by UNESCO as World Heritage.

In addition to Plenary Lectures and Invited Talks, there will be a poster session where the Attendees can present and discuss their work. Furthermore, Young Scientists can apply for an award for best poster presentation. Please follow the link for pre-registration and abstract submission (if applicable).

The standard Fee for the Workshop is 580 €, which includes full access to the Workshop, lunches, coffee breaks and a fantastic Gala Dinner. Early bird registration also includes special accommodation rates in City Hotels. We are also delighted to include a tour to the Historic Centre, visits to several monuments, and other surprises.
