Symposium
The annual Symposium is an opportunity for all members of the Centre to connect, share their research, and learn from internationally renound experts in photonic quantum science.
2026 Symposium
The Symposium will be held in Dunedin from Monday 23 November to Friday 27 November 2026.
Te Whai Ao — Dodd-Walls Centre is happy to announce that our annual Symposium will be held in collaboration with the MacDiarmid Institute, in November 2026, and we warmly invite you to attend.
This is a great opportunity to meet Dodd-Walls Centre, QTA, and MacDiarmid Institute members from across the country, showcase your research, and collaborate with emerging and established quantum and photonics researchers.
We hope you can be part of it!
