Institut Fresnel

The XXIX International Workshop on Optical Wave & Waveguide Theory and Numerical Modelling (OWTNM 2023) will be held in Marseille, France, on Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5, 2023
The yearly OWTNM workshop has, since 1992, provided a forum for lively debates, intended to bring forward new ideas in the field of theoretical and computational photonics. Basic physics and novel applications, artificially structured materials and new devices, elegant mathematical techniques and efficient numerical methods to tackle the Maxwell equations form the constantly evolving subjects. These are discussed in a traditionally open and relaxed atmosphere (see https://www.owtnm.eu/ for more informations about the OWTNM workshop series).

Dates

Venue

The workshop will be held on Marseille St-Charles campus, downtown, near the St-Charles railway station. Amphi Sciences naturelles (n°8 on map access)

Address :
Faculté des Sciences
Aix Marseille Université
3 place Victor Hugo
13331 Marseille cedex 3

Conference dinner

The conference dinner will be held at the restaurant "La Nautique", a floating ship located in front of the 20, Quai de Rive Neuve, at the Vieux-Port (see the map below).
The access is possible by foot, or by bus (82s line, direction Pharo Catalans, from the station "Faculté St Charles" to "Place aux Huiles"), or by the underground (M1 line, direction La Fourragère, from the station "St-Charles" to "Vieux-Port").
