The UCC/Tyndall OPTICA Student Chapter are pleased to invite you on the 3-5 September 2024 to Tyndall National Institute, Cork, Ireland for a workshop on Optical Fibre Communications: from networking to infrastructure challenges.
From submarine to terrestrial fibre communication networks and beyond, dive into the basics with us for an insightful 3-day workshop with industry experts, career talks and informative excursions.
The workshop will cover a broad spectrum of topics related to network infrastructure, security, fabrication, repairs, and maintenance. Additionally, it will explore political and environmental issues, challenges associated with submarine cables, and much more.
During this three-day workshop, you can look forward to two days of high-level technical talks, career discussions, and networking events at Tyndall National Institute. On the third day, there will be a day trip to Valentia Island to visit the Transatlantic Cable Station museum, followed by a tour of some significant places on this beautiful island in County Kerry and some free time for networking.
We are pleased to welcome expert speakers from leading companies and universities. Confirmed speakers are:
• John O’Shea, Google
• Goeff Bennett, Infinera
• Sandra Delany, Aquacomms
• Derek Cassidy, BT
• David Lloyd, EXA
• Camino Kavanagh, King’s College London
• Yann Amouroux, Optica
The agenda will be shared closer to the date.
Registration is free and includes the 2 days of lectures with tea/coffee breaks and lunches provided. It also covers a gala dinner and the day trip to Valentia Island.
The workshop is open to everyone keen to learn about optical communications but space is limited so priority will be given to postgraduate and undergraduate students, educators and academics. Please register with the link here by 18th August 2024.
