Project description
Photonic components
The ACCORD project has the objective to put pre-competitive photonic components and systems in the hands of researchers and students, at no net cost to the university or to the company that furnishes the prototypes.
As a result, students are trained on the next generation of emerging technologies and products as identified by European industries. This training orients students toward advanced technology jobs in Europe, thus helping to develop a highly educated and productive workforce in Europe.
Each company that participates in the programme, and particularly so for SMEs, has a new and valuable resource for implementing research and development at a reduced cost that is also precisely focussed on the products and on the issues that are most relevant to that company's continued growth and success.
By involving possible end-users in the programme, the supplying company gets access to possible new markets outside its normal field of operation. The supplying company therefore has a possibility to investigate possible new applications and reach out towards new markets without a significant cost.
The ACCORD project greatly enhances professional mobility, particularly for students and researchers originating in new member countries. Through the ACCORD programme these professionals will be able to apply for a R&D agreement with a company located anywhere in Europe. The ACCORD project will act as a positive force to integrate this talented resource into the European economy.
The models tested in this project and the experience gained will be used to propose a self-sustaining components exchange programme analogous to the Europractice program for access to microelectronic fabrication.
