Main project goals and Milestones

  • Research Excellence

    Toward quantum photonics centre of excellence

    10 year scientific and applied research roadmap with partners, strengthen research management and administration capacity, towards high-impact scientific publications, raise the research profile of the staff (young researchers), infrastructure, funding acquisition, to close the still research and innovation gap within the European Union

  • Innovation

    Improved creativity supported by development of new approaches

    Enabling of technology transfer, expansion from fundamental to applied research, collaboration with start-up hubs and organizations, communications with local industries and other stakeholders. Strong focus on low power quantum photonics sources.

Outreach and Dissemination

Promote ISSP as an attractive partner for R&D&I

  • Regional and International Networking: Establish ISSP as regional leader in quantum photonics

    Well-established environment for research and innovation, and a modern and attractive partner for entrepreneurs, scientists, investors. Collaboration with local industries to create national ecosystem in quantum photonics.

    • • Recognition

    Well recognised and known in Baltic States and beyond by entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, and policy makers.

    • Awareness And Reputation

    Public awareness and reputation of ISSP and the Project in the eyes of regional society will be promoted, to generate positive feedback on Research and Innovation activities of ISSP in a large audience.
