The rapid growth of photonics research and development activities in Finland highlights the need for a highly educated workforce with advanced knowledge and technical skills: a recent survey from the national industry has highlighted the need for 5000 new professionals in the next five years in the sector. This imperative emphasizes the strategic significance of investing in the education and development of doctoral students in photonics-related fields.
To address the need of the industry for new high-level experts, the (I-DEEP) consortium was established based on the activities of the Flagship for Photonics Research and Innovation PREIN, the photonics national research infrastructure FinnLight and Photonics Finland.
