The Polish Newsletter on Optics and Photonics is an initiative of the Candela Foundation aiming to establish a national universal information channel for the optics and photonics development community in Poland. The newsletter is co-created with the Polish Technology Platform on Photonics, which allows us to present different perspectives in the newsletter. The first edition of the newsletter was sent out in December 2021, and since then the newsletter’s audience has been growing. We invariably invite you to contribute to the newsletter by sharing information with us – you can do so by sending an email to newsletter@candela.org.pl
