Flagship for Photonics Research and Innovation (PREIN)
The Academy of Finland Flagship Programme promotes excellent research with impact. The flagship on Photonics Research and Innovation (PREIN) focuses on light-based technologies and their applications. Photonics and light-based technologies play a central role in all areas of modern life. The rationale of PREIN is to merge the leading-edge Finnish activities in photonics through the whole innovation value chain. Future breakthroughs in photonics depend on deep understanding of light-matter interactions, materials and nanostructures with tailored response, advanced laser sources, and photonic integration.
