In July 2015, CUDOS will be hosting NUSOD, the 16th International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices. Formed in 2001, NUSOD has become an established international meeting with a specific aim to bring together both theorists and experimentalists to study the most interesting problems in the field of photonics. Academic researchers, device engineers and software developers are invited to discuss the advancement and exchange of practical use of numerical tools at the cutting edge of photonics research and device design. The meeting will last five days from July 11^th-15^th; more information can be found at the website www.nusod.org/2016.
