Photonics PPP call topics for Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 determined! - Process successfully completed by Photonics21

The prioritization process for the Photonics21 PPP calls 2018-20 - started at the Annual Meeting 2016 - was successfully completed mid of April. Based on the Board of Stakeholder Prioritization of the Photonics21 Work Group Proposals the Photonics PPP Partnership Board prepared a proposal how to implement the photonics research and innovation priorities into the Work Programme 2018-20. The proposal was approved by the Board of Stakeholders mid of April (Yes: 50, Abstention: 2; No: 2).

The call topics are now implemented into a draft call text for Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-20 by the European Commission. As a next and final step in the process the European Commission coordinates the draft call text with the member states for their comments and approval. Changes can still be implemented by the member states. It is expected that the overall budget for the topics may add up to 333 Mio EUR. The call text for Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-20 will be published in autumn 2017.

Overall, more than 800 participants attended the Photonics21 workshops to determine the PPP call topics, many more were providing feedback in the subsequent consultation phases.

On behalf of the Photonics21 Boards and the European Commission we thank all members for their active participation and contribution!

Note: Organic and Large Area Electronics is not part of the Photonics PPP work programme. These topics will be included in other parts of the Horizon2020 work programme.
