Information for Sponsors
At the heart of SCOT is a desire to bridge the gap between industry and academia by providing an inclusive platform for knowledge exchange and fostering collaboration

Last Year the Scottish Conference for Optical Technologies brought together over 100 students, early career researchers and professionals from optics and photonics disciplines. Showcasing academic research and opportunities available in industry.
