Why

Photonics improves the well-being of our world by exploiting the unique properties of light, which can be found at the core of daily products and technologies such as smartphones, laptops, the Internet, medical instruments, telecommunications, and lighting technology. Considered a Key Enabling Technology (KET) for Europe’s future prosperity by the European Commission, it is calculated that 20-30% of the entire economy and 10% of the workforce in Europe already depends on photonics technologies. Nevertheless, skill shortages in Europe are damaging the growth prospects of companies and the continent’s economy.

To support the growth, leadership and innovation potential in this area, Europe needs more well prepared professionals. CARLA is creating a rigorous and tested instrument to address this need at the source.

How

  • A strongly coordinated instrument

  • Designed with the input of all photonics stakeholders, including industry, academia, entrepreneurs, policymakers and HR and training experts as well as from the potential users (university students and early-stage researchers), using a “top-down, bottom-up” approach

  • Tested and assessed by different institutions and countries to ensure viability across Europe

  • Available to and replicable by the European photonics community

so that it

  • Boosts the numbers of students and early-stage researchers pursuing careers in photonics

  • Encourages innovation and entrepreneurship

  • Empowers diversity in Photonics

For Whom

  • CARLA is aimed at university students as well as early-stage researchers from photonics and non-photonics focused areas. It will give them a peek into the vast opportunities that the photonics careers landscape offers and provide them with a roadmap for better employability.
