ICT 05 – 2019: Application driven Photonics Components
(*) Note on Gender Dimension
Applies to CONTENT for topics with gender dimension
Takes into account the possible difference between men and women, boys and girls in the content of the action proposed
Is additional to and separate from the issue of gender balance of the research team
Will be assessed in the evaluation as part of the “Excellence” criterion
For the 2 health applications related topics: call text requires gender specificities to be taken into account for VALIDATION
For the CSA topic: gender dimension must be addressed in the context of fostering careers in photonics

ICT 05.a Innovation Actions
Sensor-Based Optimization of Production Processes:
Objective:
Prototyping, demonstration, optimization and validation in real industry settings of highly advanced smart broadband multimodal photonic sensing solutions
operating in the spectral range from UV to far infrared, and
intended for improving production processes through the monitoring of relevant process and product parameters (e.g. physical, chemical, imaging, geometrical and environmental).
Requirements:
Focus is on cost-effective process-integrated solutions that are optimized in terms of speed, quality, and resource efficiency
Proposed solutions should also address embedded pre-processing and suitably interpreting the acquired raw data for the optimization of the processes
