EDIFY trained four researchers at two European academic institutions, the Universitdade de Vigo and the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, and at four leading industrial companies (SMART Photonics BV, Bright Photonics, Photon Design and Phoenix BV), covering the value chain, from research and design to manufacturing, thus forming a strong interdisciplinary network between technical sciences and industry to overcome specific barriers in the integrated photonics sector. The program provided a coherent training platform that addressed the outstanding engineering challenges of the emerging field of integrated photonics while fostering technical, creative and business skills.
The results are a radical improvement in performance, power consumption and predictive methodologies for photonic integrated circuits and researchers trained in cutting edge photonic integration and nanofabrication technology.
