The origin of our initiative to establish a Lichtwerkstatt at ACP was the Open Photonics call issued by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Starting from March 1, 2017, together with its partners Fraunhofer IOF Jena and the University of Applied Sciences Mainz, ACP will run a three-year BMBF-funded project exploring completely new ideas in innovation processes in photonics. The Lichtwerkstattis supposed to generate new forms of collaborations between companies, universities and students in order to involve a broad group of people in the innovation processes of photonics. In addition to employees of the companies and scientists, especially our students of the Master's degree programs of physics, photonics, IT sciences and media management are expected to be the main participants in the Lichtwerkstatt. It will include three key aspects:

Open Photonics Makerspace

Open Photonics Brainshops

Open Photonics Lectures
