PLATON
"Processing Light: Advanced Technologies for Optical Nanostructures". PLATON (Processing Light - Advanced Technologies for Optical Nanostructures) photonics collaborative project started in March 2007 with six sub-projects and is designed to run for seven years. The Austriawide collaborative project now links 15 partners who cooperate intensively. Main objective of the initial phase has firstly been to prepare for and exploit synergies secondly to foster excellence and thirdly to combine existing Austrian scientific as well as industrial expertise in the area of photonics and nano-technologies in order to increase visibility of Austrian activities in these fields. Results out of PLATON in terms of manufacturing and material science contribute to securing Austria as a strong player in manufacturing in a globalised supply chain.
