Workshop on
CHARACTERISATION OF PHOTONIC
MATERIALS AND DEVICES
Sapienza Università di Roma, 14-16 June 2017
This workshop is promoted by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 641899
PROMIS – Postgraduate Research on Dilute Metamorphic Nanostructures and Metamaterials in Semiconductor Photonics
PROMIS – Postgraduate Research on Dilute Metamorphic Nanostructures and Metamaterials in Semiconductor Photonics
The workshop is meant to provide early stage researchers with the most up-to-date and advanced progress in various fields of photonics materials and devices. To this end, prominent experts in the field will present the most recent advancements in plasmonics, photovoltaics, photonics, and nanostructured materials. Work package talks by early stage researchers will contribute to the scientific themes of the workshop in an informative and exchange-oriented atmosphere.
Students at Sapienza are very welcome to attend the workshop.
The scientific sessions will be held in Sala Organi Collegiali (follow link) in the Rectorate building.

PROMIS
Postgraduate Research on Dilute Metamorphic Nanostructures and Metamaterials in Semiconductor PhotonicsPhotonics, nanotechnology, advanced materials, and advanced manufacturing technologies have been identified as key enabling technologies for a diverse range of application areas and today the photonics global market alone is around €300 billion. PROMIS (Postgraduate Research on on Dilute Metamorphic Nanostructures and Metamaterials in Semiconductor Photonics) is an Initial Training Network funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, which aims to train the next generation of photonics researchers in the full range of skills required for a multi-disciplinary, industry-focused career in photonics.
The PROMIS network brings together a carefully-chosen, well-balanced consortium of 8 academic partners, 2 industry partners and 9 associated partners, with European and worldwide reputations as leaders in their fields. The network will train a cohort of 15 early stage researchers the full range of skills required for a career in photonics, including materials growth, device fabrication, characterisation, design, theory, and commercialisation.
These skills will be applied in developing advanced photonic materials and devices for four application areas: Information and Communications, Security, Energy and Environment. Each researcher will experience both academic and commercial environments thanks to the strong industrial involvement, resulting in multi-skilled, industry-focused graduates. See the Project Overview page for more. This website will continue to be updated with new information, so please check back regularly.
The network funds 15 PhD positions, with the prestige and attractive financial package that comes with being a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow.
