Examples of opportunities at European level
• Advocacy and lobbying
– Increase R&D budgets at European level
– Ensure a competitve environment and favorable legislation
• Training and education
– European summer school
– Motivating young kids to study Photonics related subjects
What is it that the European photonics industry can best
address collectivelly rather than companies individually?
What is the cost of not doing so, what are the missed
opportunities?
