Photonics Driving Economic Growth in Europe - Photonics21

Appendix
The Photonics Multiannual Strategic Roadmapping Process
The Photonics Strategic Multiannual Roadmap was jointly devel-
oped and adopted by the members of the European Technology
Platform Photonics21, which represents the European photonics
community. The photonics roadmapping process was launched
at the Photonics21 Annual Meeting 2012 in Brussels on the
27th – 28th March 2012, and was continued over that year
through workshop meetings and open consultation via the
Photonics21 website, leading to its publication in April 2013.
The chapters from each Work Group outline their individual roadmap for
photonics research & innovation in each of the different photonics applica-
tion fields addressed by Photonics21:
n Information & Communication
n Industrial Manufacturing & Quality
n Life Science & Health
n Emerging Lighting, Electronics & Displays
n Security, Metrology & Sensors
n Design & Manufacturing of Components & Systems
n Research, Education & Training
The topics and research areas addressed in this photonics roadmap have
been selected and discussed by the more than 300 photonics experts attending
the seven Photonics21 workshops held during the Photonics21
Annual Meeting 2012. A further seven Photonics21 follow-up workshops
have been conducted during June - September 2012 to further elaborate
and finalise the photonics roadmap.
