The European Programme OPERA-2015 seeks to build a bridge between optics and photonics activities within the 6th Framework Programme and R&D in the new era of the Photonics Technology Platform, Photonics21, which is a leading European initiative for the 7^th Framework Programme.

The goal of OPERA-2015 is to provide a platform for an adequate interaction of the European IST-research activities (Information Society Technology) in the scope of Optics and Photonics and to develop and implement a joint strategy for research and industry.

This goal will be carried out through:

• setting up an optics and photonics information exchange and communication platform
• compiling information about the state of the art in optics and photonics
• analyzing of relevant industries and markets
• developing of a strategic vision called "OPERA-2015"

Thus we have the pleasure to invite the entire European Photonics Community to learn about the results of the latest developments in this area and to provide further input to the Technology Platform in FP7.

The symposium is organised by OPERA-2015. MONA is part of the organisation of the event.
