ParmaPhotonics is a local network of scientists, that brings together researchers active in this field from Parma University and IMEM-CNR Institute.

We aim to:

• increase the level of international excellence and competitiveness of Photonic Research in Parma, to become a center of attraction for funding and scientists.
• provide opportunities for students and young researchers to learn and work in Photonics
• introduce and promote photonic technologies to local industrial companies

Here you can find information on the Seminar cycles we organize and on the Parma groups active in Photonics that launched this initiative.

Over the coming decades photonics will impact most areas of our lives, revolutionizing societies and industries around the globe.
Photonics will allow to:

• develop future internet infrastructure with multi-terabit capacity,
• innovate laser processes,
• introduce radical new approaches to healthcare,
• enforce the transition into new lighting devices,
• contribute to a green and smart environment with novel sensing and imaging devices
• enable higher levels of security and safety.
