Photonic Aid For Ukraine |
Candela Foundation, PPTF and Wave Jobs have jointly launched the Photonic Aid For Ukraine initiative: a portal offering jobs and support to optics and photonics professionals who have had to leave Ukraine because of the war. We want them to continue to develop their competences, which they will use in the future to rebuild the country. We publish offers from the optics and photonics sector, provide support and advice - in Ukrainian, English and Polish. Please help us to reach out to those interested and make our initiative widely available |

Learn about technology in practice - Demo Centres and Experience Centres |
PhotonHub Europe offers entrepreneurs a rare opportunity to get hands-on experience with photonic technologies. A network of nearly 40 demonstration and experiment centres, spread across Europe, has been established for this purpose.
The centres organise 1- or 3-day practical training courses for small groups. Participants take active roles in demonstrations and experiments, becoming directly acquainted with materials, equipment and processes. Training is available to any interested company.
Two centres are available in Poland too: Łukasiewicz-Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics runs the Photonic Materials & Speciality Fibers Experience Centre, while the Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics at the Warsaw University of Technology has just opened a Quantitative Phase Imaging at Cellular Level Demo Centre, focusing mainly on representatives of the biomedical sector.
