The EU awarded €5M to Phortify, a European photonics training network, to address workforce shortages through unified education and skills development.
The European Commission has awarded €5 million to Phortify, a four-year initiative led by Vrije Universiteit Brussel, to strengthen Europe’s photonics workforce.
The network, involving 12 academic and industry partners, will develop a harmonized curriculum integrated into seven master’s programs across Europe, covering the full photonics value chain.
Using hybrid learning—remote, XR-enabled labs, on-site instruction, internships, and guest lectures—it will offer microcredentials for professionals and build an open-access digital library.
The project aims to close skills gaps, promote diversity through financial aid and mentorship, and support a sector valued at nearly €0.85 trillion, projected to reach €1.4 trillion by 2032.
