Global photonics market ~ €500 billion, Leveraged impact in other enabled industries is substantially greater! Europe: overall share of 20%, rising to as much as 45% in specific key sectors. ~290,000 employees. The sector is largely based on SMEs,. Estimated annual growth > 10%, i.e. 2-3 times faster than European GDP and faster than the growth of the global market. 40,000 new jobs being created 2005 and 2008 Photonics is one of the ”Key Enabling Technologies” of the EC By W.Sandner

- Laser scientific output is high compared to other disciplines and to other global regions => Europe is leading in an important scientific field -There are still significant differences between European regions => room for regional policy -There is a positive temporal gradient in all regions => ”lasers and photonics are the future“ Lasers in Europe By W.Sandner

European Laser Community Infrastructure Network: Laserlab-Europe ESFRI Pan - European Research Infrastructures – the first international laser project ELI Lasers in Europe A structured research landscape to meet global challenges The basis Flexible instrument to perform and initiate new science beyond the national scale Mission-oriented single entities to meet global challenges By W.Sandner

ELI - A bottom-up approach by the community Integrated initiative Laserlab-Europe 30 national laser facilities from 16 European countries Ultra-high intensity laser systems worldwide in 2010 (ICUIL) National high-power laser facilities world-wide

The Extreme Light Infrastructure will be  the world’s first international laser research infrastructure, providing unique science and research opportunities for international users “The CERN of laser research”  a distributed research infrastructure based initially on 3 facilities in CZ, HU and RO  the first ESFRI project to be implemented in the new EU Member States  pioneering a novel funding model combining structural funds (ERDF) for the implementation and contributions to an ERIC for the operation
