BiophotonicsPlus is a joint initiative of the participating countries and regions (see header) to stimulate and fund R&D projects which will translate existing biophotonic technology and methods into appliances and put them into clinical, medical or industrial practice.

To this end, up to 15 million EUR government grants will be awarded to innovative project proposals which involve eligible participants/beneficiaries from at least two of the participating countries and regions. 

The BiophotonicsPlus European Competition for Collaborative R&D Funding has opened on the 1st October 2012 with the launch of the transnational call for project proposals. The BiophotonicsPlus call announcement provides you all relevant information on the transnational call for proposals.

You can download the BiophotonicsPlus call announcement.
