Welcome to the International Conference on Group IV Photonics
planned to take place in Malaga, Spain.

The Group IV Photonics Conference (GFP 2021), delivers insights on current and future innovations in Group IV element-based photonic materials and devices, including silicon photonics, as well as other integration and fabrication technologies. Scheduled as a single-track conference, GFP 2021 facilitates personal interaction between colleagues, including oral and poster sessions of contributed and invited papers, as well as a plenary session with overviews of important Group IV element photonics topics.

The IEEE Photonics Society is mindful of the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The health and safety of the Photonics Society community is our first priority.

Our staff and volunteer leaders/organizers are in the process of exploring all possible options for our conference format.  You will be notified about the next steps as soon as decisions are made.

We are committed to providing a platform to deliver the conference, and we encourage the community to participate in Group IV Photonics by submitting papers with the latest breakthroughs. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we navigate these uncertain times for all in our global community.
