International Workshop on Terahertz Technology and Applications 2026

On March 3rd and 4th, 2026, we will organize – supported by Optence e.V., the VDI/VDE Society for Measurement and Automation Technology, and the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing (DGZfP) – the twelfth International Workshop on Terahertz Technology and Applications 2026.

Terahertz technology has proven to be a valuable tool for applications in diagnostics, measurement and testing. However, the industrial use of this technology raises some difficult questions. The »International Workshop Terahertz Technology and Applications« promotes the exchange of knowledge and experience between academia and industry in this exciting and rapidly evolving field of research.
