22 Photonics

23 Photonics Photonics includes the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, detection and sensing of light. It covers all technical applications of light over the whole spectrum from ultraviolet over the visible to the near-, mid- and far-infrared. Photonics in this context includes also optics, quantum optics, optomechanics, electro-optics, optoelectronics and quantum electronics

24 Photonics is a Key Enabling Technology in European Union Overall, the conclusion to be drawn is that the present dependency and opportunities of photonics technologies to industry and final markets in general is already strong, but it is to be expected that this will grow significantly in the coming years. Especially in areas where the presence of photonics technologies is limited (e.g. retails and healthcare), these can be considered interesting growth areas. It can be stated that photonics is still very much in its industrial growing stage.

27 European Optical Society - EOS The EOS was founded on 24 May The purpose of the society is to contribute to progress in optics and related sciences, and to promote their applications at the European and international levels, by bringing together individuals and legal entities involved in these disciplines and their applications. The European Optical Society (EOS) serves as the joint forum for all individuals, companies, organisations, educational institutions, and learned and professional societies, who recognise the opportunity and challenge that a common European base provides for the development of optics in its broadest sense. HQ in Finland, Joensuu

28 Photonics Finland Currently a common funded project Collects research, education, training, product/process development, manufacturing, integrators, applications and services in Photonics under same umbrella (value chain) Creates a Industry-driven innovation ecosystem in Finland Improves visibility and business of the Finnish industry, especially among SMEs and research institutes Supports new business generation in this area. Create network for Europe and globally Uses a common voice towards the funding organizations and other decision makers (the Academy of Finland, Tekes, TEM, EU, ).

29 Photonics in Finland Each university and region in Finland is specialized in a particular area of technology Oulu Photonics Finland builds innovation network between different regions Photonics Finland creates innovation network between other European Photonics Clusters Joensuu Tampere Helsinki

30 Photonics education Education Master and doctoral degrees in Finland in modern optics years Joensuu 43 % Aalto 27 % Helsinki 7 % Oulu 7 % Turku 5 % Tampere 11 % Only place in Finland where is possible get degree from photonics (master & doctoral) International master and doctoral schools for photonics CIMET international school for spectral color research IoP provides a unique combination of expertize and facilities on photonics
