At the beginning of October, the fourth meeting of members of the Czech optical cluster called “BAMONG OURSELVES” took place.
The aim of the concept “Between each other” is to facilitate mutual cooperation between cluster members, both business and R&D. The number of members of the Czech Optical Cluster is growing, there are already 40 members, and with this number it is not easy to keep track of all members and the potential for mutual cooperation remains untapped. “Among themselves” is trying to improve this situation and contribute to the establishment of cooperation between individual members.
The members of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of J. Heyrovsky CAS, v.v.i., APPLIC s.r.o., Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i., DOCTER OPTICS s.r.o.
J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, CAS, v.v.i. – Martin Kalbáč
