Structures, Processes and Statutes

The Photonics Partnership acts as a "mouthpiece" of the European Technology Platform Photonics21 (and its more than 4,000 members) towards the European Commission.

Overview: Tasks, responsibilities and process

The strategy development and the identification of research and innovation priorities includes the three organisational layers of the European Technology Platform Photonics21 with following roles and tasks:

  • The Work Groups (WGs) are the major source of strategy (Multiannual Roadmap & R&I priorities) development within the ETP Photonics21.
  • As the main decision-making body of the ETP Photonics21 the Board of Stakeholders (BoS) reviews the outcomes of the work group strategy and votes on the overall priorities and focus of the Photonics Partnership activities.
  • The Executive Board (EB) / Photonics21 Association coordinates the input of the work groups and executes the decisions of the Board of Stakeholders. In this role it will be the mouthpiece.
