About 200 Mio. Euros Funding foreseen for Photonics and Organic Electronics
The DG Information Society and Media of the European Commission just published a newsletter which lists the Photonics & Organic Electronics related calls from the ICT Work Programme 2011 / 2012. 

Successful launch of an EU Technology Platform - however room for improvement in forming national clusters and platforms

The second EOS Conference on Manufacturing of Optical Components 2011 (EOSMOC 2011) will highlight significant future market trends, emerging technologies and associated prospective developments. It is held under the umbrella of the WORLD OF PHOTONICS CONGRESS 2011 (22 - 26 May 2011).

PRI PHOTON Research Industry is the annual event on photonics issues and challenges taking place in France - a trade show of international stature. Itwill be taking place from 26 - 29 October in Paris, France, in conjunction with the EOS Annual Meeting 2010. 

Optical devices which incorporate liquids as a fundamental part of the structure can be traced as far back as the 18th century where rotating pools of mercury were put forth as a simple technique to create smooth spherical mirrors for use in reflecting telescopes.  The evolution of modern microfluidics has enabled the development of a present day equivalent of such devices centered on the marriage of fluidics and optics which has come to be known as Optofluidics. 

Celebration of the "50th anniversary of the Laser" last year has brought the attention on how much laser light and photonics have changed and can further improve the quality of life. Photonics is one of the key enabling technologies, essential to face the "grand challenges" of our time. Indeed it can address and have a strong impact in many application fields such as ICT, healthcare, energy saving and efficiency, security, environmental monitoring, etc. The conference aims to bring scientists from all over the world to meet the Mediterranean Photonics community.

Synopsis

The EMVPO conferences gather world leading scientists in visual and physiological optics. The focus is on how the optics of the eye affects vision and on how it may be corrected and improved. The meetings are much appreciated due to the high scientific quality and the informal and intimate atmosphere, which encourages the exchange of new ideas and networking. It is a three-day meeting without parallel sessions and it attracts participants from all over the world.

The advance programme has now been published and can be downloaded here (pdf-file; 2,9 MB): EMVPO 2010 Advance Programme.

The third Scientific EOS Annual Meeting (EOSAM 2010) will be held in Paris, France, from 26 - 29 October 2010 alongside PRI-OPTO  (26 - 28 October).

Previous meetings took place in 2008 and 2006 with more than 650 attendees. Participate in EOSAM 2010 and take this excellent opportunity to exchange new ideas and latest research results!
