Special Sessions

Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project. The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on digital support. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The proceedings are submitted for indexation by SCOPUS, Google Scholar, DBLP, Semantic Scholar, EI and Web of Science / Conference Proceedings Citation Index.


Symposia proposals are accepted until:

October 2, 2026


If you wish to propose a new Special Session please kindly fill out and submit this Expression of Interest form.

Scope

The Special Session on Advanced Optical Materials and Devices for Sensing and Intelligent Photonics (AOMatDev 2027) focuses on emerging materials, devices and system-level technologies that are shaping the future of photonics.

The session aims to bring together researchers from material science, optical engineering, fiber photonics and sensing technologies to discuss recent advances spanning the entire innovation chain, from novel optical materials and nanostructures to photonic devices, sensing platforms and real-world applications.

Particular emphasis is placed on the development of intelligent photonic systems enabled by functional materials, optical fibers, integrated photonics, advanced signal processing and data-driven approaches. The session welcomes contributions addressing both fundamental and application-oriented research in areas such as healthcare, biomedical diagnostics, radiation monitoring and dosimetry, environmental sensing, industrial process control, telecommunications, quantum technologies and smart infrastructures.

AOMatDev 2027 seeks to foster interdisciplinary interactions among physicists, material scientists, photonics researchers and engineers working toward the next generation of optical sensing and intelligent photonic solutions.
