Setting photonics research and innovation Prorities for the Horizon Europe Work Programmes lies in the heart of the Photonics Public Private Partnership tasks.
The Photonics Public Private Partnership acts as a "mouthpiece" of the European Technology Platform Photonics21 (and its more than 3,800 members) towards the European Commission.
Photonics21 is composed of several bodies. You can find more information on the structure of the platform in the following sections.
The Board of Stakeholders (BoS) is the main decision-making body of the platform. In particular, the BoS bears responsibility for:
The Executive Board (EB) is the managing body of the platform. The EB is responsible for the coordination and execution of the platform operations, for the preparation and the implementation of the ...

Photonics will play a vital role in addressing the key socio-economic challenges facing Europe in the 21st century. As examples, we may note the following:
The Mirror Group constitutes the public complement to the industry-led Photonics21 Board of Stakeholders. It supports and reflects ("mirrors") the activities of Photonics21 at policy level and from a ...
The financing of innovative photonics companies in their different growth phases is a serious problem in Europe. Thats why Photonics21 strives to improve the access to financing for European ...
Several European Pilot Lines, which help companies take photonics technologies from lab into market, have been launched by the Photonics Public Private Partnership (PPP). The Pilot Lines mean that ...
The Photonics PPP supports various projects with the aim of bringing photonics into the education system of Europe. In this sectore we dive a bit deeper into this projects.
There are regular Photonics Calls for Proposals published by the European Commission. The Photonics21 community is the dedicated body to define the European call topics for photonics.
The most relevant and recent publications from Photonics21 and the Photonics PPP can be found and downloaded in this section.
