– Coordination of R&D at the European levelPrediction for 2010:– 1.5 million jobs, up 200%

– 250 billion euros in products, up 300%

– 45,000 patents up, 200 %


A short “History” of

• Started: January 2004

• November 2004, First meeting of stakeholders

• February 2005, « Photonics for the 21st Century » is Published

• May 2005, Presentation to Commissioners Potočnik and Reding

• August 2005, green light to proceed from the EC

• Tomorrow, 1 December 2005:

Launch of the Photonics Technology Platform


Objectives of the Platform

– Increase Public support for R&D in Photonics, in line with the Lisbon Objectives,

– Enable more industrial investments in Photonics and Establish strategic links between SME-based industries and principal user industries,

– Create the necessary research environment,

– Foster cooperation and coordination between R&D programmes in the member states and the European Commission,

– Write the equation that links industry needs with R&D programmes.


Current status of the

• Launch on 1-2 December in Brussels

• Proposal for – Executive Board– Working group leaders– Terms of reference

• Web sites and on-line registrationwww.photonics21.orgwww.epic-assoc.comwww.vdi.de


Proposed Executive Board

• President – Alexander von Witzleben, CEO Jenoptik

• Vice Presidents – Bernd Schulte, President EPIC, CTO Aixtron– Paul Lagasse, IMEC– Malgorzata Kujawinska, Warsaw University of

Conclusion and next step

• Increase public and private support of R&D in Photonics

• Protection and exploitation of European IP

• Adapting and improving education

• Raising Public awareness by effective communications

• Increasing pre-competitive collaborations

• Competitive manufacturing ( standards, infrastructures etc )

Next steps:- Launch in Brussels December 1 and 2

You are invited to attend this workshop on December 2

- Strategic Research agenda for FP-7: due on 1 April 2006
