Modern research has to act on social, economic and environmental developments to provide solutions for the existing and upcoming global challenges. For this reason, LANE offers a platform for an international exchange of ideas, opinions, perspectives, results and solutions concerning photonic technologies. In order to give a detailed overview, the conference aims not only at scientific contributions, but integrates the industrial perspective and their relevance for application as well.

Call for Papers out now

Until January 24, 2022, researchers and developers from science and industry, who gained interesting results in the field of laser material processing, are welcome to submit an abstract for the 12th CIRP Conference on Photonic Technologies [LANE 2022]. After a virtual edition of LANE last year, the organizers are looking forward to holding an on-site conference again in Fuerth, Germany.

Contributions will be reviewed by an international review committee. If finally accepted, scientific papers will be published online in Elsevier's open access journal Procedia CIRP on ScienceDirect (indexed in the Ei Compendex and Scopus databases). The current CiteScore of Procedia CIRP is 3.3. Application-oriented industrial papers will be published freely accessible and without limitations on the LANE website. During the LANE conference all accepted contributions will be presented personally by the authors.
