to do their best work, so this is a valuable opportunity for companies selling into those markets or wishing to expand their customer base.


virtual industry track Photonics Europe organisers are creating a series of industry-related research presentations imbedded into the conference sessions so that attendees can get exposure to industrial (commercial) research activity. Since 90% of future EU funding for photonics research is going to be targeted at industry and areas with obvious commercial potential, this offers benefi ts to scientists needing to team up with companies to get funds. Papers will be scheduled so that a “virtual industry track” is created.


photonics innovation village Photonics Europe will once again present the Photonics Innovation Village: a window on creative products developed by universities and research centres. The Innovation Village is an opportunity for these groups to showcase their efforts towards commercialisation of a technology or process. Brussels’ historical city centre provides

Exhibition and sponsorship display Exhibitors will see an audience made up primarily of scientifi c researchers from Western Europe countries, countries whose governments maintain strong support of research. Attendees will meet new suppliers from leading companies and will see the latest devices, components, and systems for sensing, infrared, instrumentation, optics, and more. Over half the attendees of Photonics

a great atmosphere, against a backdrop of excellent dining, comfortable facilities, straightforward accessibility and easy transportation. The leadership of Photonics Europe 2012 has selected many of the toughest issues facing optical and photonics technologies today as the basis for their programmes. These current research issues will drive the development of new products for years to come. Find full programme information at www.photonicseurope.org


SPIE Photonics Europe is managed by SPIE Europe. SPIE Europe offers a range of services for the European and international optics and photonics community, including managing conferences, public policy discussions and information sharing, and a quarterly newsletter updating the community on the latest funding and technology news, awards programmes, Photonics21 developments, and more. SPIE Europe is your source for connecting with the industry.
