Deadline: September 17, 2026
The ECS IA Resilience 2026 Market-Oriented Call on Photonics supports the development of market-ready advanced photonic technologies.
The focus areas include advanced photonic technologies, industrial scale-up, high-performance photonic platforms, research and prototyping, pre-commercial production, industrial-grade demonstrators, scalability, reliability, integration-readiness, and Technology Readiness Levels.
The call aims to support projects that bridge the gap between research and commercial production by advancing high-performance photonic platforms. Funded projects should develop industrial-grade demonstrators that represent future market products and demonstrate scalability, reliability, and readiness for integration.
