    FOAN2023 is planned to be held in conjunction with ICUMT2023

    The primary goal of FOAN 2023 is to bring together and present the latest research in the field of fiber optics technologies aimed to end-users, both residential and business. The idea behind the workshop is to create an opportunity to learn new things by gathering scientists and experts from academia, industry, and operators in the field that will during the workshop share their knowledge, experience, and ideas.


    Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements


    All previous published proceedings are listed in the Web of Science database. 


    The journal Fiber and Integrated Optics will publish  a Special issue based on presented papers/presentations

    FOAN2023 and ICUMT2023

    FOAN2023 will be held in conjunction with ICUMT2023, which means that:


    • Registration for FOAN2023 is also valid for ICUMT2023.
    • Social events are shared;
    • The author guidelines for scientist papers are the same

    However:

    • FOAN2023 has the full independent program policy;
    • FOAN2023 will have the separate proceeding
