Find the most recent information on EU Funding activities in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by visiting our ICT in FP7 website, which covers ICT in the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) 2007 - 2013.
Objective
To develop advanced materials, micro- and nano-scale photonic structures and devices, solid-state sources and to realise optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEIC). In the last 20 years, optics and photonics have become increasingly pervasive in a wide range of industrial applications. It has now become the heart of a new industry, building on microelectronics with which it will be increasingly linked.
Projects are expected to address research challenges for 2010 and beyond in one or more of the following application contexts: "telecommunication and infotainment" (components for "low-cost high-bandwidth" and "Terabyte storage"), "health care and life science" (minimally invasive photonic diagnostics and therapies, biophotonic devices),and "Environment and Security" (photonic sensors and imagers)
