KTN is working with partners across the UK to run a series of workshops for the upcoming Horizon 2020 Photonics Calls

Posted on: 15/08/2019

These events will consist of a briefing on the Call topics along with information and practical exercises on developing a successful proposal.

Taken from the Horizon 2020 ICT Work Programme 2018-2020:

For the 2020 Work Programme, the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), key technologies for digital transformation from photonics to software, advanced and smart connectivity with the emerging 5G, and Next Generation Internet including distributed ledger technologies and Blockchain are prioritised. The purpose of the topics proposed is to ensure European businesses is supported in further developing the building blocks of the digital transformation starting with Artificial Intelligence and robotics but also software and photonics technologies that complement the investment done in the ECSEL Joint Undertaking on components and systems.
