About the Research Program

MICROCOMB: Innovative Training Network on microresonator frequency combs

This Innovative Training Network (ITN) comprises 17 European institutions from academia and industry. 15 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) are being trained and do research on microresonator-based frequency combs, as well as being supported in obtaining a PhD on this topic. The network organizes numerous workshops, laboratory trainings, conferences and more for their ESRs at different locations of the ITN. ESRs are being seconded to other locations of the network to work there for a limited time. A major objective of the ITN is to promote transnational mobility and European exchange. Combining some of the world’s leading laboratories in this field, the ITN will train a new generation of scientists and develop cutting-edge photonic technologies.
