        The goal Acquiring knowledge on ordered nanostructured materials for photonics, electromagnetic optics and nanoplasmonics, with an accent to practical implementation applicable at both national and international level (sensors for industry, environmental protection, telecommunication). A systematic addressing on various sub-topics and the most recent world trends in this rapidly developing field.
        The outcome It is expected that the doctoral students, upon completion of this course - Perform their own science research within the field - Achieve a systematic insight to current world trends and results within the field - Develop new solutions based on the concepts acquired within the course - Operatively apply the acquired knowledge to practical situations and problems within the field
