UK's Universities of Cambridge and Southampton join PIXEurope pilot line consortium
The UK’s University of Cambridge and University of Southampton have been named as participants in the PIXEurope consortium, a collaboration between European research organizations that is developing and manufacturing prototypes of their products based on photonic chips. The consortium is supported by €380 million in total funding.
The Cambridge Graphene Centre and Cornerstone Photonics Innovation Centre at the University of Southampton will partner with members from across Europe to host a pilot line, coordinated by Spain’s Institute of Photonic Sciences, combining state-of-the-art equipment and expertise from 20 research organizations across 11 countries. The PIXEurope pilot line aims to encourage the adoption of cutting-edge photonic technologies across more industries to boost their efficiency.
