Abstract:
At the semi-annual meeting of the
photonics steering committee, the VDMA Photonics Forum appointed four more
representatives of the photonics industry to its steering body. In so
doing, the forum implemented the steering committee's own resolution. The
expansion is designed to even better reflect the different photonics
sub-sectors - including laser material processing, image processing and
measuring technology, photovoltaic production resources, electronics
production and micro-engineering - and to ensure a quorum for a
representative committee. The steering committee defines the work programme
and the strategic direction of the forum and contributes valuable
industrial expertise to the work of the forum. The aim is to bundle the
interests of the various photonics sectors and to achieve a strong business
and scientific-political positioning of the key technology of photonics in
the public eye. The new members of the steering committee are: Bernd Lange
(LPKF Laser & Electronics AG), Dr. Armin Renneisen (Rofin-Sinar Laser
GmbH), Dr. Eric Rüland (ISRA Vision AG) and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schmutz (ACI
AG).

"We are pleased that the successful integration of additional experts
provides the steering committee with an even broader technological basis.
This enables us to map out our radius of activity with an even stronger
practical focus," says Gerhard Hein, Head of the VDMA Photonics Forum.

The further members of the photonics steering committee are: Dr. Rüdiger
Hack (Laser 2000 GmbH), Dr. Susanne Heun (Merck), Dr. Michael Vergöhl
(Fraunhofer IST), Dr. Thomas Rettich (Trumpf GmbH & Co. KG) sowie Jürgen
Valentin (NanoFocus AG).

About The Photonics Forum of the German Engineering Association (VDMA)
The Photonics Forum serves as a subject-oriented platform for bundling and
linking existing expertise and resources within the VDMA. The list of
actors in the forum includes the following VDMA organisations: the German
Flat Display Forum (Deutsches Flachdisplayforum, DFF), the Industrial Image
Processing Sector “Machine Vision” (Fachabteilung Industrielle
Bildverarbeitung), the Working Group Lasers and Laser Systems for Materials
Processing (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Laser und Lasersysteme für die
Materialbearbeitung), the Electronics, Micro and Nano Technologies
Association, the Organic and Printed Electronics Assocation (OE-A) and the
Working Group Photovoltaic Equipment (Arbeitsgemeinschaft
Photovoltaik-Produktionsmittel). The forum draws on the support of a group
of members comprising more than 500 companies and research institutions
along the entire value creation chain – of which some 400 members are
primarily active in the field of photonics.
