About the Conference

The International Conference on Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems (OECS) will be the 17th meeting in a series with an outstanding tradition in bringing together leading scientists in the field of semiconductor optics. OECS 17 follows this tradition by covering the most recent developments in this rapidly evolving field, which involve advanced and new materials, novel experimental techniques, and recent theoretical progress. There will be no parallel sessions and the conference will provide plenty of opportunities for discussions. During the five days of the conference we plan to have 2 keynote speakers (40 min presentations), 18 invited talks (30 min duration), and about 65 contributed talks (15 min presentations).
