about

Measuring by light

First held in 2013, Measuring By Light is a multidisciplinary conference where both industry and academics come together to discuss the application of (optical) measurement techniques as well as solutions.

Measuring By Light

The concept

We always aim to provide a highly technical and academic programme on state-of-the-art optical measuring techniques from a wide variety of fields. Additionally, we believe it is important to offer a formal atmosphere and the right networking tools, enabling our participants to actively expand their network.
