Luminforum – new educational portal for enthusiast of light

We note an interesting initiative in the field of optic and photonics dissemination: Luminforum, an educational portal aiming to be a guide through the knowledge on light, has been created. It is a private project to create a free resource of reliable information about light. We keep finger crossed for the development of the project

Day of Photonics at Faculty of Physics UW

Lasers, quantum communications, Nobel prize, optical coffee - the event of the University of Warsaw Student Association of Optics and Photonics, Fluence.technology and PPTF was full of attractions. Next to organisers, Łukasiewicz - IMIF, Sygnis and Signify presented themselves. The Technology Dialogue Foundation and Sygnis provided pizza - thank you! We look forward to celebrating photonics together next year!

PhotonHub Europe

PhotonHub Europe (PHE) is a Europe-wide support network for entrepreneurs who want to incorporate innovative photonic solutions into their products or processes. Supported by national PhotonHubs, the 36 top European technology centres offer information and training, business support, support in raising funding and a wide network of contacts - and above all the opportunity to experiment, test and develop technologies (including scaling up production). PhotonHub also comprehensively supports startups. However, the main part of its offer is high-end technology services, available at a very significant discount thanks to EU funding.

These services are available to all entities in the EU, with a special focus on SMEs. The PPTF is the Polish partner of PHE as the national photonics hub.

Discover PhotonHub Europe during Horizon 4 Poland’23

A member of PhotonHub's Central Contact Point team will take part in the Horizon4Poland'23 matchmaking event on 21-22 November in Warsaw. Participants of the event will have the chance to meet him during the Thematic Roundtables session or arrange an individual meeting. We invite you to discuss the PhotonHub’s offer and ongoing projects!
