CONFERENCE
Companies, research institutes, and organisations involved in photonics reach out to their communities to raise awareness about what is photonics and why it is important, and promote the role of their organisation in the photonics ecosystem and value chain.
Photonics is a domain that links basic and applied research with innovation that drives economic development. Photonics frames quantum sciences, space sciences and related technologies where Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia has excellence in science, technology development and possess a cluster of SMEs globally competitive in sophisticated niche markets such as SLR stations.
FOTONIKA-LV is one of the initiators of the International Lunar Decade whose purpose is to achieve breakthrough to sustainable operations in space.
FOTONIKA-LV is a group of three scientific institutes of University of Latvia:
- Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy
- Institute of Astronomy
- Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics which have collaborated to increase a capacity to apply and participate in various Scientific projects, including FP7 and Horizon 2020 projects. PROGRAMME
