PROTEMIC PARTNERS
The Centre for Advanced Photonics & Process Analysis (CAPPA) spearheads photonics research at MTU. Nano-photonics uses nanoscale devices to control and manipulate light, primarily through nanostructuring high refractive index silicon based materials with techniques such as electron beam lithography. The group is one of the leading authorities on disorder and loss in Photonic Crystals, and works extensively on metasurfaces and integrated sensors.
Technische Universität Wien was founded in 1815 and is Austria’s leading research and higher education establishment on natural sciences and engineering. TU Wien’s mission is “Technology for People”. The research division on environmental and process analytical chemistry, headed by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Lendl, focuses on advanced analytical sciences through the development of novel analytical techniques and instrumentation. The research division on optoelectronic devices, headed by Prof. Dr. Benedikt Schwarz, focuses on semiconductor technology for mid-infrared applications.
nanoplus Advanced Photonics Gerbrunn GmbH is a privately owned German limited liability company (GmbH) and as main manufacturing and RnD enterprise forms part of the nanoplus Group. Over the last years, the nanoplus Group has become the leading manufacturer of DFB laser diodes for gas sensing applications. This position was achieved by a steady and constant growth rather than by a quick expansion.
InsuCaps Limited, a sister company of AnaBio Technologies Ltd, is a specialist micro encapsulation company based in Ireland, focussed on improving health and performance through micro-encapsulation of sensitive functional ingredients including macronutrients and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The patent technologies create a protective coating around probiotics and/or bioactives to protect them against heat and moisture, mask unpleasant tastes and control the release kinetics.
The Tyndall National Institute, part of University College Cork, is Ireland’s largest research centre. Tyndall has a very strong track record in both coordinating and partnering in European projects over many years, as well as very strong links with industry. The Photonics Packaging and Integration Group is led by Prof. Peter O’Brien and is recognized for its ability to convert research results generated in the laboratory to commercialization.
The Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Universitario La Fe dela Comunidad Valenciana (IISLAFE) is a Spanish non-profit organization that carries out the scientific and research policy of the La Fe Health Department, and was accredited as a “Health Research Institute” in 2009. IISLAFE comprises multidisciplinary and complementary research groups with consolidated expertise in cellular and molecular biology, cell culture, functional analysis imaging, “omics”, biostatistics and clinical research.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF is one of at present 76 research institutes run by the Fraunhofer Society, Europe’s largest organization for applied research. Fraunhofer IAF is one of the world’s leading research institutions in the fields of III-V semiconductors and synthetic diamond. Fraunhofer IAF develops components for future-oriented technologies, covering the entire value chain from materials research, design and processing to modules, systems and demonstrators.
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) is a full-spectrum, research-intensive university that strives towards the highest standards in cutting- edge research and interdisciplinary training, within and across its ten faculties. The department of Technical Physics of JMU is a technology center for advanced lithography and processing for nanoelectronic and nanophotonic materials and devices, and includes a 550 m2 cleanroom facility.
The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) is the largest research institute in Switzerland for natural and engineering sciences. At PSI cutting- edge research is conducted in the areas of future technologies, energy and climate, photonics and quantum mechanics, health innovation and the foundations of nature. The Laboratory of Nano and Quantum technologies (LNQ) focuses on the synergies of nanotechnology and quantum science, photonics and electronics.
The University of Valencia (UV) is one of the oldest universities in Spain, and, according to University Ranking by Academic Performance, UV is the third best university in Spain in scientific production. UV currently consists of 18 Faculties, with more than 50.000 students. In the PROTEMIC project, UV will award the Ph.D. degrees of the Fellows hosted at IISLAFE.
