The Main Goal

The purpose of the society is to contribute to progress in optics and related sciences, and to promote their applications at the Ukrainian and international levels, by bringing together individuals and legal entities involved in these disciplines and their applications. The Ukrainian Society of Pure and Applied Optics (USPAO) serves as the joint forum for all individuals, companies, organisations, educational institutions, and learned and professional societies, who recognise the opportunity and challenge that a common European base provides for the development of optics in its broadest sense.
