Photonics 4 Sustainable Environment
2021-05-18 16:00 - 20:30
Photonics as the key to environmental sustainability

This is an official International Day of Light event. Read more: photonics.fi/idl/

The event is free of charge! This event will be held in English!

In cooperation with Photonics Austria this workshop aims to start a conversation about how photonics drives sustainability. Photonics enables high-tech solutions in many industries which contribute to protecting the environment and preserving resources. From reduced material consumption through to saving energy the impact of Photonics is evident. A recent study suggests that photonics applications have the potential to contribute to 3 billion tons less CO2 output already by 2030.

In this webinar we will discuss global environmental challenges, the potential of photonics to solve those challenges and the potential, diversity, and capacity for innovation of photonics as an ‘enabler’ of sustainability. We will bring those topics also up for discussion in a Q&A with the speakers and during the matchmaking.

This webinar aims to bring together all industries that are implementing sustainable practices and the photonics industry, so join us, hear, and discuss about Photonics as a driver of sustainability.

MedPhab - Photonics pilot line for medical diagnostics Webinar
2021-06-03 15:00 - 17:00
This webinar introduces MedPhab, presents its technology capabilities and how to work with MedPhab. Register to the Webinar and find out possible solution to your company product development problem! More information and registration Here.

Medical device industry is a rapidly growing opportunity area for photonics technologies, with applications ranging from diagnostics to surgical tools and therapeutics. Development of photonic medical devices is a highly complex process as the devices consist of numerous photonic and non-photonic components, which need to be combined for the required functionality.

Delays in product development are caused by the heterogeneous nature of photonic devices and fragmented offering of the companies. Additionally, regulatory compliance can substantially delay further the product launch if the certified fabrication is not properly addressed in the early phase of the development.

MedPhab introduces a modular approach that significantly simplifies the design and production of these complex systems. For the accelerated design and fabrication, a technology library of MedPhab with catalogues of design and fabrication limits and rules are established. In MedPhab, processes and services of research organizations and ISO13485 certified companies are seamlessly coordinated catering for a wide range of development needs from proof-of-concept phase to medical grade pilot production.

Photonics Finland member VTT represents the Finnish Expertise in MedPhab community.

SuomiAreena: Valoa huomiseen - Fotoniikka ratkaisemassa globaaleja haasteita paneelikeskustelu
2021-07-16 12:00 - 12:45
Valoa huomiseen – Fotoniikka ratkaisemassa globaaleja haasteita 16.7.2021 klo 12:00 – 12:45.

Valo on ihmeellinen asia. Se on myös elämän edellytys ja hyvin monella muotoa välttämättömyys meille kaikille. Kyse on fotoniikasta, joka on valon tiedettä ja siihen perustuvaa teknologiaa. Fotoniikka tarjoaa huikeat hyödyt koko yhteiskunnalle ja sillä on yhä kasvava merkitys, koska vasta murto-osa fotoniikan tarjoamasta potentiaalista on käytössämme.

Fotoniikalla on merkittävä rooli maailmaa ravistelevien haasteiden, kuten ilmastonmuutoksen sekä kestävän kehityksen kannalta tärkeiden ratkaisujen tarjoamisessa mutta myös teollisuuden, ruuantuotannon, liikkumisen, kommunikoinnin, terveydenhuollon tai energiatuotannon uudistamisessa.

Photonics Finland ja PREIN järjestävät Valoa huomiseen – Fotoniikka ratkaisemassa globaaleja haasteita paneelikeskustelun Suomen suurimmassa yhteiskunnallisessa keskustelutapahtumassa SuomiAreenassa.

Vuoden 2021 SuomiAreena toteutetaan hybriditapahtumana ja ohjelmaa lähetetään Porista sekä Helsingistä. Tämän vuoden SuomiAreenan teemat ovat Yhteisöllisyys, digitaalisuus ja luonto. Fotoniikka on valon tiedettä ja teknologiaa, jolla on valtava potentiaali koko yhteiskunnalle niin puhtaan energian, elektroniikan, terveydenhuollon kuin ruuantuotannon saralla. Photonics Finland ja PREIN toteuttavat näiden teemojen myötä kattavan fotoniikan merkitystä, tarpeita sekä yhteisöä esille tuovan keskustelun yhdessä erinomaisten panelistien kanssa.

Juontajana

Tilaisuuden pelinrakentajana toimii koko Suomen tuntema juontaja, toimittaja sekä MTV3-kanavan uutisankkuri Peter Nyman. Paneelia varten Peter on vähintäänkin “valaissut”, ellei suorastaan “sokaissut” itsensä fotoniikalla ja sen lukuisilla mahdollisuuksilla.

Panelisteina

Fotoniikan “Ison kuvan” rakentajana toimii itseoikeutetusti tulevaisuudentutkija Risto Linturi. Yhdessä Osmo Kuusen kanssa julkaistu Suomen sata uutta mahdollistuutta 2018 – 2037 on puhuttanut Suomen eduskunnan väkeä jo vähintäänkin neljän painoksen verran. Kuten arvata saattaa julkaisu on täynnä fotoniikkaa.

Suomen poliittisen päätöksenteon suunnat näyttää ympäristö- ja ilmastoministeri Krista Mikkonen. Planeetallamme ei olisi vihreää ilman valoa mutta mitä tarvitaan, että tulevaisuuden vastuulliset valinnat, puhdas energia ja ympäristö saadaan turvattua?

Kansainväisessä kentässä Suomi on teknologian kärkimaa nro 1. Sen jos minkä tietää VTTn toimitusjohtaja Antti Vasara. VTT on yksi Euroopan johtavista tutkimuslaitoksista, jonka tehtävänä on edistää tutkimuksen ja teknologian hyödyntämistä ja kaupallistamista elinkeinoelämässä sekä yhteiskunnassa. Antilta saamme varmasti ohjeistuksen kuinka Suomi pysyy myös jatkossa teknologisen kehityksen aallon harjalla.

Suomi on osa Eurooppalaista yhteisöä sekä päätöksentekoa ja europarlamentaarikko Henna Virkkunen valaisee koko kentän tapahtumat niin teollisuuden, tutkimuksen, tieteen, energian, liikenteen, matkailun kuin digitalisaation näkökulmasta sekä Suomen mahdollisuudet osana tätä kaikkea.

Professori Jyrki Saarinen on pitkän linjan fotoniikan moniottelija. Hän on Itä-Suomen yliopiston (UEF) Fysiikan ja matematiikan laitoksen sekä Fotoniikan insituutin johtaja, lisäksi Fotoniikan tutkimuksen ja innovaatioiden lippulaivan PREIN varajohtaja. Jyrkin näkökulma kattaa yritysten ja yliopistojen mutta myös verkostojen sekä ekosysteemien tarpeet. Kenellekään ei varmasti jää epäselväksi missä fotoniikan osalta mennään nyt ja tulevaisuudessa niin Suomessa kuin maailmalla.

SuomiAreena-ohjelmisto näkyy entistä vahvemmin MTV:llä

MTV3-kanava lähettää päivittäin SuomiAreena-ohjelmaa, koko ohjelmisto on katsottavissa maksutta mtv-palvelussa (mtv.fi, mtv-sovellus) ja omalla SuomiAreena tv-kanavalla antenniverkossa näytetään ohjelmiston parhaat palat.

Mitä fotoniikka on?Fotoniikka on valon tuottamiseen, muokkaamiseen ja tarkkailuun keskittyvä tieteenala. Toimialana fotoniikka käsittää kaiken valoa hyödyntävän teollisuuden optisista komponenteista suunnitteluun ja valmiisiin laitteisiin. Sen mahdollistamia sovelluksia ovat esimerkiksi näytöt, kamerat, aurinkopaneelit, valokuidut, konenäkö, virtuaali- ja lisätyn todellisuuden ratkaisut, elekäyttöliittymät sekä mittalaitteet, kuten nopeus- ja etäisyystutkat. Fotoniikan vaikutukset ulottuvat laajasti tietoliikenteen, biolääketieteen, energia- ja ympäristötekniikan, valmistustekniikan ja kuluttajatuotteiden puolelle.

Photonics Finland Photonics Finland edustaa Suomen fotoniikka-alan yrityksiä ja toimijoita edistäen alan kehitystä ja näkyvyyttä niin kansallisesti kuin kansainvälisesti. Lisätietoa: www.photonics.fi.

Fotoniikan tutkimuksen ja innovaatioiden lippulaiva PREIN kokoaa yhteen fotoniikan tutkimuksen keskeisimmät toimijat Suomessa. Tampereen yliopiston koordinoimaan verkostoon kuuluvat Itä-Suomen yliopisto, Aalto yliopisto ja teknologian tutkimuskeskus VTT. PREIN on yksi Suomen akatemian rahoittamista osaamiskeskittymistä.
