Save the date & become a sponsor – Photonics Public Private Partnership Annual Meeting 2019, 27 & 28 March 2019, Brussels
|
Save the date for the next Photonics Public Private Partnership Annual Meeting, which will be held on 27th, and 28th March 2019 in Brussels.
The event will focus on our further way towards the new European Framework Programme Horizon Europe and will present the new European photonics roadmap to the European Commission. A high-level symposium and networking reception on 27th March 2018 will take place in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts. The second event day will focus on the Photonics21 workshop sessions, which will start the photonics R&I priority setting process for the first photonics calls under Horizon Europe. The winner of the Prototype your Idea Contest will be awarded during the event as well.
Any further details such as the event programme and the online registration link will be announced on the Photonics21 website within the next weeks and months.
We also like to encourage you to support the event and Prototype your Idea contest and become a sponsor.

TEMATYS study “Photonics – a Key Enabling Technology for Europe” published - Photonics projects in Horizon 2020 cover all high relevance application markets for tomorrow’s society and economy
|
The TEMATYS study "Photonics - a Key Enabling Technology for Europe" has now been published. The study assesses the role and contribution of Photonics in past and present Horizon 2020 projects. The share of Photonics related projects in Horizon 2020 is e.g. 8,4 % and at least 50 % of participants of photonics related projects under ICT calls come from the private sector.
For any further details you can download the pdf version of the study which is also available in the photonics download section.

Photonics PPP project Redfinch - New patrolling robots to eradicate petrol plant explosions
|
Autonomous robots fitted with tiny chemical sensors that listen to the 'sounds' coming off gases will instantly detect gas leaks in petrochemical plants and pipelines to dramatically improve disaster responses.
The risk of a petrol plant explosion or a potential disaster on an oil refinery could be dramatically reduced thanks to a new generation of tiny chemical sensors that use light and sound to 'listen to' gas leaks.
Fitted to an autonomous patrolling robot, the tiny 'Photo-Acoustic' gas sensors will be part of a wireless network continuously monitoring pipelines that can instantly identify petroleum, hydrogen sulphide, and a number of toxic gases, before alerting operatives in an oil rig or chemical plant.

Participate - Prototype Your Idea Contest now launched
|
Prototype Your Idea is a competition for business ideas at an early stage. It can be a simple thought, an idea you cannot get out of your head or an idea that you have been working with for a while. Photonics21 aims to support talented makers and students, who have a real interest in becoming entrepreneurs by combining creativity with photonics. The contest consists of a cash prize of €5,000 and the opportunity to get a spot in the ACTPHAST EU innovation incubator to carry out a full feasibility testing of your idea, which is worth up to €30,000, giving you access to Europe's top photonics experts and infrastructure including a start-up business coach. To participate, you will need to send in a maximum two minute video presentation of your concept, or a written description of your idea/product making clear the nature of innovation and the potential impact to industry. This will be reviewed by a jury of experts.
