SUMMARY:Photonics for Space
DESCRIPTION:Photonics plays a key role in space capability and one that is set to grow. From space communications to solar power and major astronomy infrastructure\, developments in photonics technology are crucial to the next generation of space-based activity.  There is a great opportunity for the UK industry and research base to act now. The Photonics for Space event from Innovate UK KTN brings the photonics and space communities together to address this opportunity. \nAbout the event\nThis one-day event at the National Space Centre in Leicester will feature a series of talks on themes including space communication\, company opportunities for large scale astronomy research facilities\, space based solar power\, and more. Additionally\, there will be the opportunity for companies and universities to pitch their capabilities and seek partners for collaboration. To further increase the opportunities for connection we will be offering bookable meeting slots ahead of the event\, as well as a number of tabletop exhibit spaces

SUMMARY:Future Photonics Leaders Group Formation Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Early career photonic professionals and researchers are invited to a virtual sandpit meeting on 9th September to discuss the formation of new UK Early Career/ Future Photonics Leaders group focused on fostering\, supporting and capturing the opinions of those early in their photonics careers that will lead UK industry and research in the future. \nThose starting and developing their photonic careers today will be the industrial and academic leaders of the future. It is hoped this group will run alongside the current PLG to foster interaction\, mutual support\, and insights to ensuring the future photonics ecosystem is one that participants will be proud of\, motivated to lead\, would recommend to others and provides dynamic\, diverse and rewarding career opportunities. \nAs a starting point an initial draft scope\, activity focus and terms of reference for the group has been developed and is open for comment and discussion on 9 September (15:00-16:30 by Teams). Preregistration is requested. The new group will need to be self-organising and volunteers will be sort to take the group forward with support and coaching from the current PLG.

SUMMARY:Showcasing a Welsh developed 5G innovation for rural communities
DESCRIPTION:July meeting of the UK Fibre Connectivity Forum \nThe Welsh Government are providing £4.2 million of funding to Bangor University’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Centre of Excellence to bring 5G broadband connections through fibre optic cables into harder to reach areas. The University is working with a consortium of companies to increase the capacity and enhance the sensing ability of fibre optic cables used to deliver faster and more reliable mobile broadband\, and this will be trailed with more than 400 premises on Ynys Mon that do not have access to superfast broadband. The broadband delivery part of the project will last 18 months and will allow customers to be connected as soon as the first site is live and will continue through 2025. The project is also supported by Isle of Anglesey County Council and the North Wales Economic Ambition Board. \nAgenda\n1.30pm Registration and coffee \n2pm Welcome from the chair of UKFCF \n2.10pm Grant Thornton \n2.20pm The Anglesey 5G EDC Broadband Project with contributions from \n\nPeter Curnow-Ford\, Project Director\nVodafone-Tony Roberts – Head of Vodafone Regional Business Wales\nStephen Pegrum\, Sorrento Networks\n\nQ&A \n3.20pm break \nQ& A \n3.45pm networking and refreshments \n5pm meeting closes

SUMMARY:Photonics for Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Hear from leaders exploring how photonics can make a major contribution to achieving net zero though increasing green-power generation\, reducing energy consumption\, and reducing waste. With achieving net zero one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century\, photonics will play an increasingly central role in reducing our emissions and increasing our resource and energy efficiency.\n\n \n\nThis free Webinar\, hosted by SPIE online\, will feature an 10 minute presentations from world authorities on the diverse ways photonics impacts net zero and supports sustainability. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session taking questions from the global audience and exploring unifying theme chaired by the Photonics Leadership Group Chief Executive John Lincoln.\n\n \n\nJoin us 4pm UK time\, 5pm Eu\, 8am Pacific\, 11 Eastern\, Wednesday 20 April 2020\n\n \n\nMeet the speakers:\n\n \n\n 	Simon Andrews\, Fraunhofer UK Research\n 	Vincent Zeng\, Meta\n 	Vipul Bhatt\, II-VI Incorporated\n 	Karin Hinzer\, University of Ottawa\n 	Martin Strassburg\, ams-OSRAM International GmbH\n\npl
