The list of principal events:

1. On regular base our SPIE chapter organizes the student visits to the exhibitions

connected with optics and photonics:

• “Security and Defense – 2018”, Kyiv, Ukraine – digital cameras, optical sensor,

observation and video equipment;

• “LED Expo – 2018”, Kyiv, Ukraine – LED, LED optics, LED applications –

very bright exhibition in any sense of this word : ) ;

• “Industrial Forum 2018” , Kyiv, Ukraine – laser cutting machines, laser 3D

printers, 3D cameras, optical measurements and optical sensors;

• “Electronic components 2019” - Kyiv, Ukraine – LED, photodetectors, image

sensors, photosensors and etc.;

• “Health 2019” Kyiv, Ukraine – optical microscopes, laser surgery,

ophtalmogical equipment.

2. Vitaly Bortnik presented our chapter at the SPIE Conference “Optics + Photonics 2018”,

San Diego, USA.

3.The delegation of our chapter visited SPIE VIII International Conference on optoelectronic

information-energy technologies "PHOTONICS 2018", Vynnitsa, Ukraine. We made 7

presentations. We participated in the short lecture courses and discussions with other

Ukrainian SPIE chapters.

4. The delegation of our chapter participated the International Young Scientists Conference

“Optics and High Technology Material Science - SPO 2018”, Taras Shevchenko National

State University, Kyiv, Ukraine. We made 5 presentations there.

4. Our chapter organized the section of “Optical instrument-making 2019” at Student

Research Conference “Instrument-making 2018” in our university. We collected the papers

and prepared them for publication in the KPI Proc. There were 9 presentations.

5. On regular base we participated in Open Day Events for schoolboys and schoolgirls in our

university. We demonstrate the optical experiments using SPIE Kits. To involve schoolboys

and students into SPIE Vitalii Antonenko designed, manufactured and demonstrated a

working prototype of a biologically inspired compound eye like in spiders or bugs. It is

possible to investigate how they can see moving objects. It is also possible to use its

components for the other student projects.

6. We presented our chapter at the session at "l'Institut Français d'Ukraine Days" in our

university, Kyiv, Ukraine.

7. Our chapter members took part in the educational program "Zavtra.UA" with optical

projects. It is the largest private program to support talented young researchers in Ukraine,

which is supported by billionaire Victor Pinchuk and its Foundation.
