On August 12, the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL) welcomed participants from the international summer school “ChipLight: Building the Future of Integrated Photonics,” hosted by Riga Technical University (RTU).
Bringing together students and emerging researchers in engineering, IT, and physics, this intensive two-week program explores how integrated photonics and microchip design enable next-generation computing, data transmission, and quantum technologies.
During their visit to ISSP UL, guests were given a comprehensive overview of the Institute’s ongoing research and breakthroughs in microchips, nanostructures, and advanced materials. The visit concluded with a tour of our laboratory facilities and the deep tech start-up AP4PIC, giving the summer school attendees a firsthand look at our research environment and how theoretical photonics is translated into practical, micro-level solutions.
We are always eager to open our doors to rising talent, share our research capabilities, and support academic partners – ISSP UL is dedicated to strengthening the broader European photonics and microchip ecosystem.
