Advanced Optics in Engineering Programme – Specialty Fibers, Systems and Applications: Call for White Paper Proposals
The Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) announces a Call for White Paper Proposals for the Advanced Optics in Engineering Programme in the area of Specialty Fibers, Systems and Applications.
In this programme, SERC will selectively fund projects that address critical technologies for the development of specialty fibres for UV and mid-IR wavelengths, as well as core technologies for fibre fabrication and characterisation, fibre light sources and metrology using fibres. The primary focus is to develop capabilities and technologies for advance manufacturing and its associated applications.
An extended abstract of two A4 pages within the research thrust is expected. A workshop cum review will be held following the call for the white paper, where eachPI will be given 10 minutes to present his/her proposal to a committee consisting of SERC and academia representatives. Templates for the white paper proposal and the presentation slides are provided below The announcement of the workshop and its programme will be sent to each Principal Investigator (PI) of the teams whose abstracts are received.
SERC will select the successful teams or recommend forming new teams, and invite them to submit full proposals. The submission deadline for the full proposal will be advised at a later date.
