B-PHOT Supports ETpathfinder Smart Skills Lab to Share Photonics Knowledge With Businesses

The Einstein Telescope is a cutting-edge research facility under development, designed to detect gravitational waves with unprecedented precision. The project brings together a wide range of key enabling technologies, including photonics, cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum systems, and data analysis. These technologies are not only essential to science but also increasingly relevant to sectors such as high-tech manufacturing, construction, installation engineering, and logistics. Yet businesses in these areas often struggle to access the latest technological know-how. The Smart Skills Lab INTERREG project seeks to close that gap by developing training programmes.

B-PHOT is a partner in this ambitious training project and will open up its photonics training laboratories to PhD’s and post-docs, but especially to technicians, technology experts and engineers from companies for transferring expertise and provide hands-on practical trainings on optics and photonics components and instrumentation, allowing companies to tailor their learning packages to specific needs.
