Programme

Conference mission PLASMONICA 2017, the fifth edition of the workshop on plasmonics and its applications, is held in Lecce, Italy, on July 5-7, 2017. PLASMONICA is an annual conference intended to bring together a thriving community of people that works in plasmonics. In particular, the conference aims at attracting the interest of young researchers, PhD students and post-doctoral fellows from Italy and abroad in order to promote discussions and collaborations on challenging problems arising in the community. The conference will cover both fundamental aspects and applications, featuring several internationally renowned invited speakers, as well as oral and poster contributions.

Topics • Active Plasmonics • Nonlinear Plasmonics • Quantum Plasmonics • Spectroscopy and Nano-Imaging • Plasmonic Nanoantennas • Plasmonic Functional Materials and Devices • Unconventional Materials for Plasmonics • Plasmon-Exciton Polaritons

Conference location

The 5th International Workshop on Plasmonics, PLASMONICA 2017 is held at Convitto Palmieri in Lecce. The architectural complex represents an articulated but unitary structure, conceived and built over the centuries, and in particular during the XIX century through multiple interventions culminating in the second half of the 1800s with the placement of the highest educational institution in the city of Lecce. The church of San Francesco della Scarpa is the original site around which the ancient convent, which today constitutes the entire structure of the Convitto Palmieri, was built and developed. How to reach Convitto Palmieri

Lecce and the surrounding area Lecce is a historic city in southern Italy, one of the most important cities of Apulia. Because of the rich baroque architectural monuments found in the city, it is commonly nicknamed "The Florence of the South". Lecce lies down at the heel of Italy's boot between the Adriatic and Ionian Sea in the "Salento" area. The region offers kilometers of coastal landscape, blue sea-fringed bays, dunes and white sand beaches; it holds a rich and succulent gastronomic tradition and offers a lively and dynamic cultural scenario.

Social dinner

The social dinner will take place on Thursday July 6th at 20:30 at Torre del Parco, in Lecce, one of the most beautiful historic houses of medieval and renaissance period. Torre del Parco is located in the heart of Lecce, just 10 minutes’ walk from the historic center of the city.
