The series is aimed at companies and researchers developing photonics technology, and at end-users looking to solve challenges and to produce innovative products and services. Its main aim is to bring together photonics specialists with end-users, therefore there will be networking opportunities across the whole series to support collaboration.

Photonics finds application in water industry challenges, both in sensing and measurement and in water treatment. Photonic-based sensors can be used to detect and measure a wide range of contaminants and physical parameters in water, and UV LEDs are coming to the fore in the treatment of drinking water.

This event will consider the application of photonics across the water industry and will provide an overview of collaboration and funding opportunities in the sector.
