#PLASMONICA2025 hosted for the first time in its history a Special Session organized with an industrial partner, namely, the Smart Eyewear Lab – a joint initiative of #EssilorLuxottica and #PoliMi.
We think it has been an effective way to draw in actors outside academia and reach new audiences...🧵

#PLASMONICA2025 is drawing to a close today, but the last coffee break and poster session were still lively! Complesso San Geminiano has been a fantastic venue and the shadowy porticos 🏛️ of the historical centre of #Modena helped us cope with an early summer heatwave 🫠.
