I-DEEP Events

I-DEEP Innovative Doctoral Education Ecosystem for Photonics includes several events either joint events for every doctoral researchers in the ecosystem, or locally arranged events.

Annual events for the doctoral researchers will be arranged in order to researchers to present their research and for follow-up on the progression of studies and research.

Thematic events and training on soft skills are also offered to the doctoral researchers.

The information on the events will be published on this web page regularly.

Joint I-DEEP events

Please check also all the PREIN Flagship events

  • Industry Connect matchmaking event October 6, 2025, at 12-16 in Radisson Blue Hotel in Helsinki. In the matcmaking event organised jointly by Technology Industries Finland and the doctoral Pilots in Microelectronics, Photonics and Quantum the doctoral researchers and their supervisors have the opportunity to meet with industry representatives. We hope all doctoral pilot researchers in I-DEEP join this event to meet with other doctoral pilot researchers and with relevant companies. This is a great opportunity to network and make matches with companies.
