Why study

In socio-political terms, the development of photonics related scientific and industrial sectors is of utmost importance on dealing with XXI century challenges. The European Union has identified photonics as one of six Key Enabling Technologies (KET), whose development will determine the competitiveness, productivity and long-term employment sustainability of European industry. Investment in these technologies will be given priority attention by european R & D + i policies , not only for its impact on industrial and innovation capacity of the EU, but also for its effect on social challenges such as efficiency and energy independence, health and health care or transportation among others

The program brings together human and material resources from several research groups of the three involved Universities in the areas of Lasers, Photonics and Vision. All of them have extensive academic and research experience, including management of numerous scientific projects, publication of scientific articles in high impact journals and supervision of many doctoral theses.
