ECOP (European Centres for Outreach in Photonics) is a long-standing partnership of European
research and innovation centres passionate about the underlying areas of photonics in particular
and STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) in general.
The alliance is committed to having young people, multidisciplinary professionals, entrepreneurs and
society at large, discover the potential and wonders of photonics, its impact in our daily life and the
opportunities it offers professionally and to industry.
Current members are located across Europe, providing the alliance a Pan-European vision, and are
