  1. PHOTONICS21: The Photonics Technology Platform Rosalie ZOBEL Director, Components and Systems European Commission Directorate General Information Society and Media

  2. Outline Introduction: What is Photonics ? Photonics for the 21st Century, a bright future A continuing IST support of Photonics Industrial context: the Photonics industry in Europe The PHOTONICS21 Technology Platform - History - Objectives of the Technology platform - Current Status - Proposed executive board and Topical working groups Conclusion and further reading

  3. What is Photonics ? • The science of the mastery of light • The Generation of light • The Detection of light • The Management of light through: Guidance Manipulation Amplification • A tool for the benefit of mankind

  4. Photonics for the 21st Century: A bright future 20th Century 21st Century • Communications • Entertainment • Displays • Lighting • Life Science and Health CareManufacturing • 20th Century: Century of the Electron • 21st century: Century of the Photon

  5. Funding (55 M€) 15 M€ 2002 2001 19 M€ 21 M€ 2000 FP 5 (1999 - 2002) A continuing IST support: example of Photonic components 50 M€ 2006 21 M€ 2005 2004 52 M€ FP 6 (2003 - 2006) FP 7 (2007 - 2013)

  6. Industrial context: the Photonic industry in Europe Today: • Employs: 500 000 scientists, engineers, and technicians • World-wide leadership in Lighting, High power lasers, Communication • Opportunities: • Lighting, Lasers, Health, Life Science, Nanotechnologies • Challenges: • Developing and Protecting IP, • Access to capital, • Coordination of R&D at the European level Prediction for 2010: • 1.5 million jobs, up 200% • 250 billion euros in products, up 300% • 45,000 patents up, 200 %

  7. A short “History” of • Started: January 2004 • November 2004, First meeting of stakeholders • February 2005, « Photonics for the 21st Century » is Published • May 2005, Presentation to Commissioners Potočnik and Reding • August 2005, green light to proceed from the EC • Tomorrow, 1 December 2005: Launch of the Photonics Technology Platform

  8. Objectives of the Platform • Increase Public support for R&D in Photonics, in line with the Lisbon Objectives, • Enable more industrial investments in Photonics and Establish strategic links between SME-based industries and principal user industries, • Create the necessary research environment, • Foster cooperation and coordination between R&D programmes in the member states and the European Commission, • Write the equation that links industry needs with R&D programmes.

  9. Current status of the • Launch on 1-2 December in Brussels • Proposal for • Executive Board • Working group leaders • Terms of reference • Web sites and on-line registration www.photonics21.org www.epic-assoc.com www.vdi.de

  10. Proposed Executive Board • President • Alexander von Witzleben, CEO Jenoptik • Vice Presidents • Bernd Schulte, President EPIC, CTO Aixtron • Paul Lagasse, IMEC • Malgorzata Kujawinska, Warsaw University of Technology

  11. Topical working groups • Information and Communication (WG1) Giorgio Anania, CEO Bookham • Industrial Production/Manufacturing and Quality (WG2) Peter Leibinger, CEO Trumpf Lasertechnik • Life Sciences and Health (WG3) Michael Kaschke, CTO Carl Zeiss • Lighting and Displays (WG4) Peter Stormberg, CTO Philips Lighting • Metrology and Sensors (WG5) Jean-Francois Coutris, Vice President SAGEM • Design and Manufacturing of Components and Systems (WG6) Lars Thylen, KISTA/Acreo • Photonics Research, Education and Training (WG7) Chris Dainty, European Optical Society Cross-cutting Technologies • Compound semiconductors • Fibers • Organic and polymers • Detection • Photonic ICs • Nanophotonics…

  12. Conclusion and next step • Increase public and private support of R&D in Photonics • Protection and exploitation of European IP • Adapting and improving education • Raising Public awareness by effective communications • Increasing pre-competitive collaborations • Competitive manufacturing ( standards, infrastructures etc ) Next steps: - Launch in Brussels December 1 and 2 You are invited to attend this workshop on December 2 - Strategic Research agenda for FP-7: due on 1 April 2006
