Photonics Based Sensing ERA-NET Cofund

PhotonicSensing is a joint initiative which contributes to the fast development and implementation of photonics based sensing technologies and therefore further improve the European market share in this domain. It is organised as a competition for funding and will be implemented jointly by the participating national and regional funding bodies from the following countries and regions:

• FFG, Austria (Coordinator)
• VLAIO, Flanders Region (Belgium)
• BMBF/VDI TZ, Germany
• InnovationAuth, Israel
• NCBR, Poland
• FCT, Portugal
• TÜBITAK, Turkey
• Regione Toscana, Tuscany Region (Italy)
• Innovate UK, United Kingdom

It is expected to fund a mixture of small and large projects, with total costs typically in the range of €0.5m to €4m. Each R&D Project shall consist minimum of two separate legal partners from at least two different participating countries and/or regions. Projects must be collaborative, application-oriented and pre-competitive.

PhotonicSensing has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 688735.
