Day 1 of the EPoSS Association Annual Meeting has come to a close, and we're bringing you the photographic record of the best moments!
Our 130 participants gathered on campus for one of Europe's leading conferences on smart system integration (SSI), where they were welcomed by an impressive line-up representatives from EPoSS, INL, the European Commission, and Chips JU.
From there, the day unfolded across 16 talks on advanced semiconductor packaging, European policy, and integrated photonics, before winding down with an enriching poster session and a panel on industrialising photonics in Europe.
Still, there's more to come.
Tomorrow will bring a fresh round of sessions, and the announcement of the EPoSS Start-Up Award and the POEMS Start-Up Award.
Stay tuned for updates!

Leonor Ribeiro pitched to win...
She walked onto the Falling Walls Lab Portugal stage with a microphone and walked off with a ticket to Berlin.
In just three minutes, she convinced both the audience and the jury that her research, "Breaking the Wall of Lung Cancer with Light", was exactly the kind of disruptive science the world needs.
That pitch earned her a place at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin, competing against 99 international semi-finalists for the title of Breakthrough of the Year. She describes the experience as a stimulating challenge, and a catalyst for both scientific and personal growth.
This year, Falling Walls Lab Portugal returns to INL, on 09 September.
We're looking for the next bold idea with the power to create real impact; in science and in society.
Could you be this year's winner?
Apply before 31 July!

Today we celebrate a culture that uses fado as its soundtrack, a language that uses diminutives to soften everything, and most of all, the people who make it all alive.
Happy Portugal Day!

The brilliant minds walking our campus today were once small in stature, but never in imagination.
Their dreams were always big enough to bring them here.
Here's to every child, and the wonder they never lose.
Happy Children's Day.
