This year, we especially encourage our members to show pupils how photonics can become an exciting field of study and a meaningful career path. We invite companies to give talks at local schools or similar educational institutions, reaching young people before they make important decisions about their future studies. These outreach activities will help raise awareness of photonics, attract future talent, and inspire the next generation to shape the future through light-based technologies.

Register your lecture HERE . Create a LinkedIn post about your lecture and send us the link at neringa.noreikiene@epic-photonics.com. We will share your post on EPIC’s LinkedIn page. Encourage your network to engage with your post on our LinkedIn through likes, comments, and shares. The post with the highest engagement will win a photonics kit, which you can donate to the school where you delivered your lecture!

Not planning to give a lecture? Celebrate in your own way! Share your activities using the hashtag #dayofphotonics2026 and/or tag @DAY OF PHOTONICS on LinkedIn. We will share your activities on our social media as well.

Please publish your LinkedIn posts by 20 November 2026 (inclusive).
