The French Optics Society was created
to encourage contact and collaboration between all people
concerned with optics, opto-electronics, and the advancement
of business studies in the service of human knowledge.
With this objective, the Society organises scientific
conferences and maintains close contact with other societies
or national and international organisations with similar
interests.
The board of directors of the Society in the role of
the French Optics Committee represents France at the
International Optics Commission.
International Optics Commission (ICO)
The commission is affiliated to the International
Union of Pure Physics (U.P.A.P.) associated with the
International Council of Scientific Unions (I.C.S.U.).
For France, the Scientific Academy holds trusteeship
over the association of National Committees of the various
unions ; to this end, the Academy has created a department
entitled French Committee of International Scientific
Unions (COFUS).
European Optical Society (E.O.S.)
The European Optical Society was founded
on the 12 March 1991 at The Hague, on the occasion of
the ECO4 conference. This foundation resulted from the
merger between the Association Europtica, the European
Federation of Societies, national optics committees
and the optics division of European Society of Physics.
The founders members were 22 people from 13 European
countries and 14 national societies, one of which was
the FOS. Today, it comprises 795 members, including
16 national societies.
The Head Office is in France at l'Institut d'Optique
in Orsay (Optics Institute, Orsay)
Goals : to contribute to the advancement
of optics and related sciences, and to promote their
