The European commission, Photonics 21 and LASHARE invite to a forum at Laser World of Photonics in Munich on June 29th from 10:00 to 14:00 in Hall B3.360. Under the headline “Digitisation of laser-based manufacturing in Europe” the program intends to identify topics and activities that support digitisation in the photonics sector. After an overview about research agendas and work programmes by the Commission and Photonics 21, the two I4MS projects APPOLO and LASHARE provide an overview about their innovation scheme. A workshop from 11:20 to 12:00 will involve the audience to discuss issues that are connected to digitisation and to collect ideas for future research and innovation programmes.
