2018 OSA Scientific Meetings and Educational Outreach
Abstract
This proposal presents the OSA Scientific Meetings and Educational Outreach efforts which includes scientific meetings where cutting-edge research and innovative new tools and techniques in optics and photonics are presented and discussed, and educational activities designed to encourage the next generation of leaders in STEM fields relevant to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) scientific areas. The work detailed in this proposal will foster larger participation levels, increased networking events, professional development opportunities and educational outreach efforts that will span all aspects of the optics and photonics community. OSA kindly requests grant funding from AFOSR in the amount of $100,000. The funds will be used to provide speakers, students and early careerprofessionals with registration and travel support, purchase and distribute educational outreach tools, and to defray other direct costs to foster technical exchange, outreach, and coordination in support of the program objectives. The following proposal includes an overview of the meetings and other programs OSA request the funds for in 2018, along with an outline of events in 2019-2020.
