Invited - One-Stop-Shop Open Access to Photonics Innovation Support for a Digital Europe

Susan Brindley

Vrije Universiteit Brussel - Brussels Photonics, Belgium

PhotonHub Europe has been established to accelerate the uptake, integration, and deployment of photonic technologies in innovative products across a range of industry sectors for scaled-up business growth and production in Europe. The aim is to lower the innovation barriers for European industry by offering a one-stop-shop solution for exploiting the power of photonics in new “photonics-enabled” products and production methods. PhotonHub has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Grant Agreement n°101016665, in Public Private Partnership with Photonics21.

Invited - The CARLA programs: mind openers for photonics careers

Lydia Sanmartí-VIla

ICFO, Spain

The field of photonics needs more well-prepared professionals to support its growth and innovation potential. Addressing this pressing necessity requires engaging all stakeholders to increase the visibility of the outstanding professional opportunities available in photonics in academia, industry and beyond, and provide the future workforce with tools to boost their employability. In this session we want to talk about how the EU projects Carla and it's follow up project 360 CARLA are approaching this through innovative inclusive career development events and round up programs general to photonics or focused on photonics applications verticals.
