The ONNA 2015 workshop was held at OIST Graduate University (http://www.oist.jp) from 25-28 May 2015. The aim of the workshop was to bring together experts and early stage researchers, from diverse communities, who use optical micro and nanofibers for their research needs, whether it be for quantum, biological or other applications.

Important Dates:

  • Began Accepting Applications: 01 October 2014 
  • Notification of Application Results: mid-February 2015
  • Participant arrival in Okinawa: 24 May 2015
  • Participant departure from Okinawa: 29 May 2015

Location: OIST Seaside House, Onna, Okinawa, Japan

Organisers: Síle Nic Chormaic (OIST Graduate University, Japan), Kohzo Hakuta (University of Electro-Communications, Japan), Luis Orozco (Joint Quantum Institute, University of Maryland, USA), Gilberto Brambilla (ORC, University of Southampton, UK). Workshop hosted by the Light-Matter Interactions Unit

There is no registration fee.  We will handle the logistics and cover the cost of twin-share accommodation at Seaside House and meals for all workshop participants. We will also help with arranging visas when necessary.  We envision that we will be able to offer full financial support for a reasonable number of participants (twin-share accommodation, meals and return airfare).    We request that all applicants indicate on the application form whether they wish to apply for travel support.     We will cover accommodation and meals onsite for all participants. If you want a single room, this can be arranged in a local hotel and we will provide some advice.
