CAPPA is at the forefront of photonics research in Ireland, conducting both applied and fundamental research on photonics for applications in areas as diverse as telecommunications, medical devices, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing. CAPPA has provided photonics solutions to companies in all these sectors and collaborated with academic partners both nationally and internationally, on scales from short-term consultancy to multi-year collaborative projects. CAPPA is actively seeking to forge new collaborations, in these areas as well as extending links to new cross-disciplinary areas.
A follow-on event is also planned for a showcase day in MTU South Kerry Campus on Wednesday 30 March. This day will focus on engaging with our colleagues, customers and potential collaborators in the Kerry area.
