IOPTICA, the OPTICA student chapter at the Institute of Optics of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, is a vibrant group comprising young researchers, predoctoral students, and laboratory technicians. Our research spans various realms within the vast field of Optics and Photonics, including Visual Optics, Biophotonics, Laser Physics, Fiber Optics, and Nanophotonics. 

Since our inception in 2007, IOPTICA has been at the forefront of outreach in Optics in Spain. Our activities are driven by a dual purpose: creating a solid network of young researchers in the different fields of Optics and disseminating the wonders of Optics to the general population. Through workshops, demonstrations, and seminars, we aim to ignite curiosity and appreciation for Science and Optics among diverse audiences.

We are always looking forward to new outreach projects and collaborations. Check our activities and resources and do not hesitate to contact us. Together, let's illuminate the next generation of Optics enthusiasts!
