Networking and Future Photonics Strategy
Pays one European consortium EUR 3 million to coordinate the Photonics Partnership's research roadmap, monitor its funded projects and help the sector access private and blended finance.
A consortium applies under the Coordination and Support Action route; the Commission funds one project with the full EUR 3 million. The work is coordination, monitoring and advocacy for the wider Photonics Partnership rather than new photonics research itself.
The Commission wants a coordination project that keeps the European Photonics Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda up to date, monitors Photonics Partnership-funded projects against their targets, and runs outreach connecting industry, academia, national platforms and end-user sectors. It also wants the project to improve the photonics sector's access to private and blended finance.
