REPOL is a student organization affiliated with Quebec's SPIE and OSA student chapters. A student chapter is a group of students who are members of a professional society. Every student member of this society is automatically member of the student chapter. REPOL represents the students for SPIE, OSA, the COPL and the university. It also organizes several academic, training and networking activities while supporting scientific education within the community.

International Year of Light

IYL2015
On 20 December 2013, the United Nations proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light (IYL 2015). This special year is a great opportunity to increase awareness about optics and photonics all around the world. With this goal in mind, a team of SPIE members led by SPIE Future Leaders Committee past chairs Anne-Sophie Poulin-Girard and Jason Grenier translated the IYL logo in 10 languages. Do not hesitate to use them to promote the science of light in your surroundings.

Le 20 décembre 2013, les Nations Unies ont proclamé 2015 l'Année Internationale de la Lumière (IYL 2015). Cette année spéciale est l'occasion de promouvoir l'optique et la photonique à travers le monde. Avec cet objectif en tête, une équipe de membres du SPIE menée par Anne-Sophie Poulin-Girard et Jason Grenier, tous deux anciens présidents du comité Future Leaders du SPIE, a traduit le logo en 10 langues. N'hésitez pas à les utiliser pour faire connaître les sciences de la lumière dans votre milieu.
