School information
A EUPROMETA Doctoral School will be held right after the Conference (5-6 September 2025) in the same venue. The topic of the school will be
Metamaterials and Information
How can metamaterials revolutionize information processing and information transfer? And how can information-driven techniques revolutionize the design and function of metamaterials? The Metamaterials’25 Doctoral School will explore the deep connection between metamaterials and information — how they can be used to process, transfer, and manipulate information, as well as how cutting-edge information-driven techniques like inverse design are shaping the next generation of metasurfaces. Leading experts in the field will introduce state-of-the-art approaches spanning multiple disciplines, including:
· Electromagnetic and acoustic wave-based computing
· Machine learning for metamaterial design
· Radiofrequency and wireless information processing and transfer
· Mathematical operations and wave-based analog computing
· Inverse design and optimization for metasurfaces
· Image processing and advanced sensing techniques
Designed for PhD students and early-career researchers from diverse backgrounds—photonics, RF, acoustics, and beyond—this two-day school will provide tutorial-style lectures that balance fundamental concepts with cutting-edge developments and a panel discussion on metamaterial careers in- and outside of academia.
Join us in Amsterdam for an inspiring deep dive into the future of metamaterials and information!
