Overview

EU Project PhotonicRoadSME

PhotonicRoadSME is a Support Action funded by the European Commission within the scope of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) which aims at the integration of new scientific developments in the field of nano-photonics to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
The partners of the PhotonicRoadSME project will develop technology roadmaps to identify future research and technological development (RTD) strategies for Europe which will increase awareness and motivation of the SMEs for the competitiveness of their industrial sector. For this purpose, nine well-known organizations including research leaders in the domain of photonics, partners in photonics networks and experts in the development of technology roadmaps from five European countries are involved in the project. The project results will be validated by industrial and scientific experts.

Main project objectives are:

  • Creation of a database of properties and applications of nano-photonic materials, devices, and fabrication technologies.
  • Technology audits and SWOT analysis in the four industrial branches information & communication technologies, environment, health & well-being, and safety & security.
  • Development of SME-type specific and branch specific technology roadmaps.

Duration: May 01, 2008 - April 30, 2010
