Registration is open – join us in Vilnius!
The workshop Photonics Frontiers. Building Stronger Ecosystems Together will bring together representatives from Lithuania, Czechia, and Ukraine, uniting science, business, and innovation communities to explore how laser–photonics ecosystems can drive stronger innovation, growth, and collaboration across the three regions.
Participants will discover the laser and photonics ecosystems of each country, exchange best practices, and take part in discussions on how to connect scientific excellence with industrial innovation. The programme includes the LASER-PRO Open Call presentation, an overview of Horizon Europe opportunities, and networking sessions designed to foster new partnerships.
A special Innovation Showcase will provide a platform for companies and research teams to present their technologies, share experiences, and explore opportunities for collaboration in the laser and photonics domains.

REGISTRATION
-
Lithuania is recognised as a European leader in laser technologies, known for its concentration of high-tech companies, research-driven innovation, and strong export performance. The country’s ecosystem covers the full value chain – from optical components and laser sources to advanced applications in materials processing, medicine, and other technologies.
-
Czechia (Central Bohemian Region) – The region hosts a dynamic photonics and advanced manufacturing ecosystem, focusing on high-power laser systems, additive technologies, precision engineering, and industrial applications. Strong collaboration between research institutions and industry drives new technological solutions and entrepreneurial growth.
-
Ukraine’s laser and photonics sector has a long scientific tradition and is now actively strengthening its innovation capacity and international integration. Current developments focus on photonic materials, optical instrumentation, and knowledge transfer to support sustainable industrial modernisation and collaboration within the European research landscape.
Together, we are shaping the future of photonics. Photonics Frontiers is more than a meeting – it’s a space to exchange ideas, connect ecosystems, and spark collaborations that will drive laser innovation and technological progress across Europe.
