The SiO2 - 2023 conference is the 14th in a series of symposia alternatively held in France and Italy. The first SiO2 conference was held 1996 in Agelonde (France), and the last one took place virtually, organized by the University of Lille (2021). The 2023 edition will be again a traditional, fully-in-presence event.

The SiO2-2023 conference will cover the following topics:

• Electronic and atomic structure

• Optical and electronic properties

• Defect generation and transformation

• Radiation effects (including laser processing and harsh environments)

• Dosimetry, sensors, radiation hardening

• Micro-/nano-structuring

• Fiber optics and fiber-based devices

• Microelectronic devices

• Advanced dielectric materials

• Nanomaterials and nanocomposites for applications in electronics, photonics and optoelectronics
