University ITMO SPIE Student Chapter was established by the students
interested in the deep study of optics, that got results in science, publish their
works in international magazines, and participate in international conferences
worldwide. We plan to make our chapter as a structure that would provide the
study assistance, widen the relations of our students with scientists worldwide.
