Strategic Research Agenda

The new Photonics21 Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) "Lighting the way ahead" has been published at the Photonics21 Annual Meeting in January 2010. It was jointly developed and adopted by the Photonics21 members between January and December 2010.

The new SRA shows how photonics can contribute to solve the major societal challenges of Europe with regard to energy efficiency, the ageing society, safety and security as well as the European knowledge society. Furthermore, it relates to the enormous growth and potential of photonics. The new SRA also figures out the major research priorities of the most relevant fields of application.

The first Strategic Research Agenda “Towards a Bright Future for Europe” has been edited in 2006. You can download the SRA of Photonics21 here.
