We are pleased to announce the formation of the B.O.S.S. Bristol Optical Students Society (also known as University of Bristol OSA Student Chapter). This newest addition joins more than 325 OSA Student Chapter organisations in more than 55 countries around the world. OSA is the leading professional society for scientists, engineers, students and business leaders working in optics - the science of light.
OSA Student Chapters provide leadership experience and year-round networking opportunities for students with an interest in optics and photonics. They also work closely with schools and community groups to present programs, such as hands-on demonstrations, lab tours, contests, competitions and more.
To support OSA Student Chapters, OSA provides a variety of benefits, such as start-up funds and the opportunity to apply for activity and youth educational outreach grants, an annual travelling lecturer, travel support for one Student Chapter member to attend the student Leadership Conference held at OSA's annual Leadership Meeting, eligibility for a Student Chapter Excellence Award, support for the International OSA Network of Students (IONS) events and more. More information about OSA's Student Chapter Program is available on their website or by contacting chaptersandsection@osa.org.
