Swissphotonics – What we do

Networking

We organise Workshops, Webinars and Lunch Chats every Tuesday at noon. As an association, we naturally also have an annual General Assembly. Networking to discuss technologies and other aspects is a very important part of Swissphotonics which generates ideas, projects and inspiration!

Support

We can help you with project funding, with connecting to European actors through similar organizations at the national or regional levels, with finding the right expert and even with finding a job! We also lobby and advocate for the photonics field in general and for our members.

Distributed Labs

Swissphotonics initiated and supports competence workgroups, so called “Swiss National Photonic Labs”. These Labs combine relevant and interested institutes for a specific topic. They also connect to Photonics21’s work groups.
