Premium Industry Partners of KSOP
The challenge to solve social and technological problems can only be managed by cooperations between research, industry and politics. Thus, the transfer of academic knowledge is very important for innovations like procedures, technologies and services. Moreover, the globalization of research demands a huge network to be competitive abroad institutional and geographical borders.
Therefore, the initiative "Promotion of Junior Researchers in Optics & Photonics" was founded.
Companies can recruit young professionals for practical training, master thesis or jobs.
