Seminars We organized the series of seminars with eminent foreign and Armenian scientists during
2015, in order to make Optics and Photonics more popular, to make science more
interesting and to answer actual questions that arise for students. Seminars were
conducted by popular lecturers from scientific and industrial centers of Armenia and other
countries, and our chapter members. As always the topics of seminars included various fields of science,
optics, astrophysics. Some seminars were unique and were met very enthusiastic and attracted participants
of various specialties.
1. Prof. Alexandre Soares Leal Nuclear Technology Development Center (CDTN),
Belo Horizonte, Brazil
“New Applications of Research Nuclear
Reactor TRIGA IPR-R1 Mark 1”
2. YSU&NAS SPIE student chapter member Hrach Toneyan
“Nonlinear- dispersive similariton
for ultrafast photonics ”

Visit to the ANEL Research laboratory
We organized lab tour to the ANEL Research
Laboratory for bachelor, master and PhD Students from
Yerevan State University, Institute for Physical Research of
NAS RA and Russian- Armenian (Slavonic) University of
Armenia. The program was aimed to give an opportunity to
students to learn more about experimental culture and
technique. These events are motivating and inspiring
students to improve their knowledge on physics and get
acquainted with the research of ANEL more closely.
Officially the ANEL (Armenian National
Engineering Laboratories) was founded on September 2,
2013 by Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF), RA
Government, United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) and State Engineering University of
Armenia.
The main goal of the Project is to meet the demand of the
engineering industry in quality specialists and graduates
educated on up-to-date technological base to confront the
employee shortage and to increase value-added and
innovativeness of Armenian high tech businesses, thus
increasing their international competitiveness.

The Big World of Physics
This activity becomes traditional which includes work with schoolchildren, to make Optics more interesting
and popular for them. Traditionally we were taking them to excursions to various University laboratories,
this year we have organized several activities.
1. “Physics is for all” At September 18-19 at Goris together with OSA Armenia chapter and IREX’s "Project Smile"
we’ve organized a class named “Physics is for all”. There was participating about 50 pupils and they
were shown to how interesting is physics and what would happen if there was no physics.

2. “Public Moon Watching”
Together with OSA Armenia chapter and Student Scientific Society of Yerevan State University
we’ve organized a public moon watching day. A telescope was put in near the Republic Square in
Yerevan and people could come and watch to the moon.
