General information on the ISCOM

ISCOM is organized by the following members of Belgrade University: 
Institute of Physics, Faculty of Physics, Institute of Nuclear Sciences 
"Vinca" and Faculty of Electrical Engineering.   
The meeting will be held in the Kolarac building, in downtown Belgrade.

Aim of the ISCOM

The "school" portion of ISCOM is primarily aimed to young researchers and 
PhD students as a way to introduce the participants to modern research, 
starting from a basic level and concluding with the most recent results. 
The conference portion of ISCOM aims to help researchers listen and 
discuss the state of the art in several topics of the meeting.     
The purpose of the meeting is to disseminate knowledge and information 
concerning optics, optical materials, lasers, and telecommunications in 
various fields of quantum optics, solid state physics, bio and medical 
physics. Through Plenary sessions ISCOM provides students with an 
opportunity to increase and deepen their insights into these fields. At 
the Invited Lecture sessions, young researchers will be presented with the 
latest results and will be able to discuss the state of the art.
