The 1st International Conference of the Panhellenic Optical Society (PHOS) successfully concluded at FORTH, bringing together distinguished scientists and young researchers from Greece and abroad to explore new frontiers in photonics.

Heartfelt thanks to all speakers and participants for their inspiring presentations and valuable contributions, and to Prof. Nikos Pleros and Dr. Emmanuel Stratakis for their co-organization and vision that made this event possible.The conference also marked the foundation of the Panhellenic Optical Society (PHOS)  — a new institution aiming to unite and strengthen the Greek scientific community in the field of photonics.

It was a great honor to welcome Prof. Eleftherios Economou, whose presence gave special significance to the conference. We warmly thank him for his lifelong contribution to Greek science and research.

Grateful to everyone who contributed to making PHOS 2025 a meaningful milestone for the progress of photonics in our country.
