Second edition of Photonics Job Fair

On 12 May, in the Auditorium of the Faculty of Physics of the Warsaw University of Technology, the 2nd International Photonics Job Fair took place as part of the Day of Light celebrations. This year's edition brought together 15 exhibitors, including representatives of the Berlin-based cluster OpTecBB. The the Most Attractive Employer of the Photonic Job Fair Award went to Fibrain - congratulations!

New method for the production of zinc oxide quantum dots

Nanocrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) is widely used in light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells as an electron transport layer. Still, a major limitation in the development of these technologies is the lack of sufficiently high quality zinc oxide quantum dots. A new method for producing zinc oxide quantum dots has been developed by a team of researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology.

Innovative method for measuring magnetism

Researchers from the University of Warsaw have uniquely used nanodiamonds and optical fibres to precisely measure magnetic fields. As they explain, optical measurements of magnetism offer accuracy unattainable by other methods and, what is more, they work even in the presence of a strong background, such as the Earth's magnetic field. On the inner wall of such optical fibres, they place diamond nanowires that react to the magnetic field and influence light transport.

PhotonHub Europe

PhotonHub Europe (PHE) is a Europe-wide support network for entrepreneurs who want to incorporate innovative photonic solutions into their products or processes. Supported by national PhotonHubs, the 36 top European technology centres offer information and training, business support, support in raising funding and a wide network of contacts - and above all the opportunity to experiment, test and develop technologies (including scaling up production). PhotonHub also comprehensively supports startups. However, the main part of its offer is high-end technology services, available at a very significant discount thanks to EU funding.


These services are available to all entities in the EU, with a special focus on SMEs. The PPTF is the Polish partner of PHE as the national photonics hub.

Deadlines for project submissions in 2023

PhotonHub supports innovation by funding technology services. Funding is provided through projects developed by companies in collaboration with a selected technology centre.

The decisions of funding are made every two months by the Project Evaluation Team (PET).

In order for a project to be evaluated and be eligible for funding in 2023, it must be submitted on time:

  • by 31 May to be evaluated before the summer holidays;

  • by 23 August, for the PET to assess it in early September;

  • by 5 October, for the PET to assess the project before the end of October
