Europe intensifies support for photonics

Brussels, December 5, 2006

Photonics have been given a firm place in the EU's 7th Framework Programme (FP7). The European Commission plans to create a new unit dedicated to photonics and to increase funding for the enabling technology by more than 40% (90 million Euro) for photonics in the years 2007-08. These were the positive results that the Photonics21 European Technology Platform presented today at its annual meeting in Brussels.
