Back in 1992 the first Iberoamerican Optics Meeting (Reunión Iberoamericana de Óptica – Reunião Iberoamericana de Óptica, RIAO) successfully took place in Spain. Along the years organized together with the Latinamerican Meeting on Optics, Lasers and Applications (Encuentro Latinoamericano de Óptica, Láseres y sus Aplicaciones, OPTILAS) the RIAO/OPTILAS meeting have steadily grown establishing it self as the major scientific meeting in optics and photonics in Iberoamerica. It as been a privileged forum for friendly intense committed discussions and sharing of ideas and experiences in the field of optics and photonics and the establishment of so many sound and long lasting cooperation and personal relationships among Iberoamerican institutions and optics researchers and colleagues from all over the world. It long became the reference meeting in Optics in Iberoamerica and our main “window" to the world, that widely recognizes the decisive importance of Iberoamerica’ contribution to the development of Optics and Photonics.
The VIII Reunión Iberoamericana de Óptica / XI Reunión Iberoamericana de Óptica, Láseres y Aplicaciones (RIAO/OPTILAS 2013) will be held at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. Contributions are welcome in all fields of Optics and applications. Portuguese Spanish and English are the official languages of the conference.

Please note that the abstract submission system will open by June 2012.
