The Greenhorn meeting is a conference held annually, which targets junior researchers (those who are within the first-half of PhD or in the last year of their masters) working in the research areas of quantum optics, nano optics, atomic physics and ultra-cold atomic gases so that they share their knowledge and exchange ideas. The aim, in addition to providing an opportunity to give a talk and present a poster, is to provide a platform for connecting and networking among junior researchers in their respective fields of research.

The Greenhorn meeting 2024 will be held at the University of Siegen from September 10th (Tuesday) till September 12th (Thursday). The arrival day will be September 9th (Monday) afternoon. The meeting will be hosted by the Nano-Optics group of Prof. Mario Agio (see Website) and the Experimental Quantum Optics group of Prof. Christof Wunderlich (see Website).
