4 Seminars We organized the series of seminars with eminent foreign and Armenian scientists during 2015, in order to make Optics and Photonics more popular, to make science more interesting and to answer actual questions that arise for students. Seminars were conducted by popular lecturers from scientific and industrial centers of Armenia and other countries, and our chapter members. As always the topics of seminars included various fields of science, optics, astrophysics. Some seminars were unique and were met very enthusiastic and attracted participants of various specialties. 1. Prof. Alexandre Soares Leal Nuclear Technology Development Center (CDTN), Belo Horizonte, Brazil New Applications of Research Nuclear Reactor TRIGA IPR-R1 Mark 1 2. YSU&NAS SPIE student chapter member Hrach Toneyan Nonlinear- dispersive similariton for ultrafast photonics 4 P a g e

5 Visit to the ANEL Research laboratory We organized lab tour to the ANEL Research Laboratory for bachelor, master and PhD Students from Yerevan State University, Institute for Physical Research of NAS RA and Russian- Armenian (Slavonic) University of Armenia. The program was aimed to give an opportunity to students to learn more about experimental culture and technique. These events are motivating and inspiring students to improve their knowledge on physics and get acquainted with the research of ANEL more closely. Officially the ANEL (Armenian National Engineering Laboratories) was founded on September 2, 2013 by Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF), RA Government, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and State Engineering University of Armenia. The main goal of the Project is to meet the demand of the engineering industry in quality specialists and graduates educated on up-to-date technological base to confront the employee shortage and to increase value-added and innovativeness of Armenian high tech businesses, thus increasing their international competitiveness. 5 P a g e

6 The Big World of Physics This activity becomes traditional which includes work with schoolchildren, to make Optics more interesting and popular for them. Traditionally we were taking them to excursions to various University laboratories, this year we have organized several activities. 1. Physics is for all At September at Goris together with OSA Armenia chapter and IREX s "Project Smile" we ve organized a class named Physics is for all. There was participating about 50 pupils and they were shown to how interesting is physics and what would happen if there was no physics. 6 P a g e

7 2. Public Moon Watching Together with OSA Armenia chapter and Student Scientific Society of Yerevan State University we ve organized a public moon watching day. A telescope was put in near the Republic Square in Yerevan and people could come and watch to the moon. Visited foreign research institutes 1. University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany 2. FIAS, Frankfurt, Germany 3. GSI, Darmstadt, Germany 4. Technical University of Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany 5. Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany 6.
