strategic projects

Significant development stimuli have come out of the centre ultra optics in recent years that led to the establishment of sustainable structures and cooperative relations with other institutions of science and economics, which work out far beyond the university. Prominent examples include the recent establishment of the Helmholtz-Institute Jena and the establishment of networks of expertise, such as "PhoNa - Photonic Nanomaterials", "OptiMi - competence triangle Optical Microsystems" or "onCOOPtics - High-intensity Laser for Radiation Oncology", and the Collaborative Research TR7 and TR18. These networks are supported in part by excellence programmes of the BMBF and the German Research Foundation.

For this reason publicly-funded collaboration projects compose the centre's backbone, since they represent both the strategic networking with partner institutions and provide a substantial part of the centre's financing.
