UK Metamaterials Scale-Up Workshop Opens October 19

The Henry Royce Institute and UK Metamaterials Network scheduled a two-day workshop at Imperial College London for October 19-20. The published programme covers industrial collaboration funding on day one and, on day two, photonics and metasurface fabrication capabilities, including nanophotonics, two-photon lithography and silicon-photonics-to-metasurface pathways. The programme is a meeting agenda, not an announcement that any new production capability has been delivered.

GLOBAL IMAGING BRIEF

Why it matters

Analysis: The agenda makes prototyping access, process scale-up and funding routes concrete discussion points for optical-metasurface suppliers; commercialization outcomes cannot be inferred before the sessions take place.
