Concertation Meeting - FP7 Photonics projects

This event is the second of this kind, and concentrates this time on the 27 new FP7 projects launched following ICT call 2. The objectives of the event are:

• To contribute towards building a European Photonics community;
• To encourage the exchange of information and best-practice between projects;
• To engage the actors in a discussion on topics and challenges of common interest;
• To contribute to the reflection on the future European Photonics policies and strategies;
• To provide feedback on the implementation of the Framework Program;
• To achieve synergy and cross-fertilisation among projects.

The meeting will be organised by ICFO - 'The Institute of Photonics Sciences' (Barcelona). The event is on principle open to any representative of the Photonics community. Participants from the Photonics related projects funded under the ICT Thematic Priority will be allowed to charge their costs of participation on their project budget. Please do not forget to register here if you plan to attend the event, the conference dinner, and the guided tour of ICFO.
