From March 18 – 21, 2014 the Interdisciplinary School on Clinical Biophotonics will be held in Jena. The School directs students and academics from the fields of physics, natural science and medicin as well as medical users. It offers a new approach towards interdisciplinary learning in Biophotonics and hences substainable development within this field of science. 

The research anf development of biophotonic solutions require a interdisciplinary education and teaching. The Interdisciplinary School on Clinical Biophotonics tries to find a solution to this dilemma by bringing together students and academics from all relevant scientific fields.

The Interdisciplinary School on Clinical Biophotonics is supported by the Jena University Hospital, the Abbe Center of Photonics, and the Carl Zeiss fund. It is organized by the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in cooperation with the European Network of Excellence for Biophotonics Photonics4Life.

Biophotonic is a research area that comprises optical technologies and appli- cations in medicin and life sciences, e. g. microscopy and spectroscopy, point- of-care-technology or the use of light as laser tool for surgery or cytology. Field of applications are clinical diagnostics (e. g. diagnostics of sepsis or cancer), environmental or food safety as well as basic research with life science.

Photonics4Life is the European Network of Excellence for Biophotonics. 13 top-of-the-line research institutes as well as industrial partners have joined forces to tap the existing potentials and develop new opportunities of Biophotonics The Network was funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme.
