Voices of the industry – Photonics
"SpectraCure is an innovative medical technology company in Lund that develops systems for cancer therapy based on laser technology. Since the company was founded in 2003, we have benefitted greatly from the high level of competence in optics, laser and photonics at Lund University, which is both a source of expertise and an important recruiting ground for Master's projects and for hiring R&D staff. We highly appreciate the new Master's in Photonics at the Faculty of Engineering."

"PhotonicSweden is an economic association which was founded in 2011 in order to unify the Swedish optics and photonics community, including companies, R&D organisations, universities, and competence centers in order to strengthen the market. PhotonicSweden enables a stronger collaboration of industry and science in being the voice for the national and international community in optics and photonics.
We hope that the Photonics Master's programme at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University is only the beginning of a tradition at Swedish universities in offering dedicated photonics programmes. We look forward to welcoming many of these students at our job-seeking initiatives which take place alongside our annual Optics & Photonics conferences.
In order to strengthen the access to skilled personnel for the Swedish and European optics and photonics industry, we strongly support the Photonics Master's programme at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University."
