Building international scientific structures in metamaterials, photonics, and advanced electromagnetics.

Said Zouhdi, Professor at Université Paris-Saclay, Founder of META and AES Conferences

I create and lead international scientific platforms that bring together researchers, engineers, and institutions. The goal is not only to host conferences, but to build the connections that outlast them.

The scientific ecosystem connecting these initiatives: conferences, exchange, and publishing.
Ecosystem

Good science needs good structures. I have been building them for nearly two decades: conferences held since 2008, communities, and publishing initiatives with a long-term scope.
