| The Giambiagi Winter School is organized by the Physics Department of Exact and Natural Sciences School of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Each year the School is devoted to a different topic and its main purpose is to offer graduate students and young researchers an up-to-date perspective given by world-recognized experts, in a relaxed working atmosphere promoting interaction and potential future collaborations. | ||||
| The School will consist of a series of lectures
and a related workshop on latest research results. Time will be
available for discussions of posters and short seminars. The official
language of the School is English. The present edition of the School is devoted to the field Light and Light-based Technologies. The importance of this topic is the impact that has in a great variety of areas, ranging from biology, technology, semiconductor industry, microscopy, medicine and art, among others. The ongoing development of light sources, allows the continuous advancement of various technologies. As a key example we can cite the semiconductor industry, in which every year is established which technology will be used (sources, techniques, materials) to print circuits even smaller than the previous one, allowing the perpetual increase in processors speed. The semiconductor industry employees light to print the components of the circuits, using the technology known as optical lithography. In medicine, light sources are used to perform surgery, as in the curing of eye disease, and novel techniques such as optical coherence tomography to inspect breast cancer. In art, light has been used for cleaning the paintings and study its pigments. The continuous development of these techniques and technologies, motivated the United Nations Organization to establish that year 2015 would commemorate internationally light and light-based technologies. "In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the UN has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society."
