Resonant Nanophotonics
Educational Workshop 2026
The Resonant Nanophotonics Educational Workshop (ReNEW)
is an annual scientific and educational event that brings together young researchers, students, graduate students, and professors working in the fields of optics, photonics, nanotechnology, and related areas. The workshop is held in partnership with leading national research universities — MIPT, ITMO University, and Skoltech.

The goal of ReNEW is to create an open platform for knowledge sharing, establishing scientific contacts, and involving young scientists in cutting-edge research in the field of resonant nanophotonics.
What to expect:
Lectures from leading experts in nanophotonics who will share their knowledge and latest scientific achievements
An environment for experience sharing: communication and interaction between students, graduate students, and recognized specialists

Practical training: the opportunity to work on real projects under the guidance of experienced mentors. You will gain valuable practical skills and be able to apply theoretical knowledge in practice

The intensive program includes:
Development
