Women in Optics
Since 1998, SPIE Women in Optics promotes personal and professional growth for women through community building, networking opportunities, and encouraging young women to choose optics as a career.
SPIE believes that bringing together people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives supports innovation through a diversity of ideas, and solves challenges faced by our world. Collaborative environments that value inclusion will ultimately have a positive impact on the science of light.
