![]() The Institute has a threefold mission: frontier research, knowledge and technology transfer, and postgraduate training, mainly at the doctoral level. ![]() Founded in 2002 by the Government of Catalonia and the UPC, the ICFO also hosts ambitious patronage programmes funded by the Cellex and Mir-Puig foundations of Barcelona. The ICFO is a research centre dedicated to the study of light sciences and technologies and has been recognised as a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence. The doctoral programme in Photonics of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is delivered by the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) within the framework of the UPC Doctoral School. Examples of photonic solutions to present-day challenges include modern fibre optics–based communications systems, optical diagnostic and therapeutic tools used in medicine, laser-based production methods, metrology and optical sensors, and photovoltaic energy. In recent decades, photonics has given rise to a myriad of applications that have a positive impact on our lives, even at the most everyday level. ![]() The discipline produces multidisciplinary technology with applications in communications, industry, nanotechnology, biology, medicine and other fields. ![]() Photonics is the science that studies light and its generation, propagation, manipulation and interaction with matter.
