The IEEE Photonics Society organizes WRAP once every two years in India. The event brings together global experts and researchers to discuss and highlight recent advances in the field of photonics. The first edition of WRAP was organized at IIT Delhi in 2013. The later editions of WRAP were held at IISc Bangalore, Mahindra University, and IIT Guwahati in 2015, 2017, and 2019, respectively. The fifth edition of WRAP (5th IEEE Workshop on Recent Advances in Photonics) is planned to be held as a hybrid (in-person and virtual) event at IIT Bombay.
