Project description
Photonic components
The interactive travelling exhibition 'Fascination of Light' which has been developed and displayed very successfully in Germany during the past two years will be put on a European level and will be presented in at least nine major European regions / cities, organised by partner institutions of the consortium LASERLAB EUROPE with additional support from the NEMO Network of Excellence on Micro-Optics. The exhibition is based on a multidisciplinary approach where photonics and their pervasiveness in every-day life can be actively experienced through interactive, hands-on exhibition pieces, illustrative material and multimedia stations, functional models, visual aids, posters and simple experiments, which may provide inspirations for teaching. The overall aims of the project are - to foster public understanding of science and technology related to IST and photonics;- to raise awareness for the practical, societal and occupational potential of (photonics-based) ICT;- to stimulate educational initiatives and provide educational support related to IST and photonics; - to contribute to a highly qualified (next-generation) workforce in photonics-related science, research and development,- to provide a platform for the visibility of the host institutions within their specific European regions and their general importance to the society.
