→ Welcome message from the Co-Chairs

Our fifteenth meeting was held in Cassis, France at Cassis Convention Center during October 2nd to 6th, 2016. A tributary presentation was given to the Honorary Chair of the symposium, Prof. Dimitris Charalambidis. This was followed by nine sessions covering the wide areas of rapidly growing interdisciplinary research fields of ultrafast intense laser science. We enjoyed the presentations made by the discussion leaders and invited speakers as well as by the stimulating discussions that followed all the presentations.

A total of 19 posters were presented during the poster sessions this year. In the Sponsors’ Sessions, presentations were given by seven sponsor companies, Imagine Optic, Thales Optronique, Amplitude Technologies, Fastlite, Japan Laser Corporation, Coherent, and TRUMPF Scientific Lasers.

We believe the attendees enjoyed the scientific program as well as the pleasant weather and atmosphere of Cassis. On behalf of the international organizing committee, we thank again all the invited participants, all attendees, and all the sponsor companies and organizations for having made the symposium both successful and enjoyable.

Sincerely yours,

Co-chairs of ISUILS15
