OPERA2015 IN PHOTONICS EUROPE 2008
9 April 2008
Austria
OPERA2015 is a European project funded within the 6th Framework Programme and is dedicated to developing a joint strategy for optics and photonics in Europe.
The OPERA2015 summit meeting will take place the 9th of April 2008 during the Photonics Europe Congress celebrated in Strasbourg (France).
This event will be divided into two different parts. The first part will be performed by: Markus Wilkens (VDI Technologiezentrum and secretariat of the European Technology Platform Photonics21), Bart Snijders (TNO), Marie-Joëlle Antoine (Opticsvalley) and Peter Van Daele (IMEC). Here OPERA2015 will be introduced to all the attendees, explaining its aims, results, website importance as well as an analysis of the current situation in optics and photonics field in the industrial, research and business landscape in the European scene.
Along the second part, some of the most outstanding experts and scientists such as: Eugene Arthurs (the Executive Director of SPIE), David Pointer (Managing Director at Point Source), Mike Wale (Bookham), Hugo Thienpont (Vrije Universiteit) and Gustav Kalbe (Photonics unit of Directorate General Information Society and Media) will discuss about the future of the European research and development in optics and photonics from key points of view: research, business, industry and politician.
OPERA2015 is playing an important role in making the European Research Area in Optics and Photonics a reality. Let us demonstrate it to you! Join us!
