NFO-17
17th International Conference on Near-field Optics, Nanophotonics, and Related Techniques.
Chaired by Prof Stefan Maier and Prof Ken Crozier.
NFO-17 will be the 17th International Conference on Near-field Optics, Nanophotonics, and Related Techniques. The NFO Conference series is a leading platform for the latest advancements in nano-optics, near-field microscopy, plasmonics, metamaterials, quantum information, biosensing and ultrafast dynamics. The conference maintains a strong tradition of collaboration, collegiality, and discovery.
The first NFO conference was held in 1992 in Arc-et-Senans (France). Since then, it has been held every two years, with the exception that NFO-16 was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. NFO is held on even-numbered years (except for NFO-2 to NFO-4).

Interested in hosting NFO18?
Hosting NFO18
On behalf of the NFO International Advisory Committee, we call for expressions of interest for hosting NFO18
The NFO conference series traditionally rotates between Europe/the Americas/Asia. We therefore anticipate that NFO18 will be held in Europe.
Parties interested in hosting NFO18 should submit an Expression of Interest form to the NFO17 conference chairs (Crozier & Maier) by email by 11 November 2024. A selection meeting will be held at NFO17.
