Membership

Photonics21 is a voluntary association of industrial enterprises and other stakeholders in the field of photonics in Europe. Photonics21 is no legal body and possesses no legal form.Today the platform unites more than 1,700 stakeholders from all over Europe.

Who are the members?

All those who are involved with applied research, technical development and practical application of optical and photonic technologies can become a member. However, the main reason for which European Technology Platforms have been launched is to better align EU research priorities with industry's needs. Thus, in particular, industrial enterprises and research institutions working at the industrial-scientific interface are called upon to join Photonics21. Representatives of public bodies and governmental organisations involved with research and innovation in the field of photonics are invited to participate via the Mirror Group of Photonics21.

Why to join?

Becoming a member of Photonics21 is an opportunity to be integrated into a European network of Photonics experts. Furthermore, you will have the possibility to present your point of view in your work group and to influence the future research in the field of photonics. Every two month, members receive a newsletter providing information on platform's activities; they also have access to a privileged member area within in the Photonics21 website.
