SITEX is member of more specialised european platforms like Nanomedicine, EPoSS-The European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration, Nanofutures, Manufuture, CLINAM, Photonics 21, RMP Rapid manufacturing platform, OE-L(Organic Electronics Ass.), and specialised associations EuMA and 4M MultiMaterials MicroManufacture, SPIE and SEMI USA, AMA / German Ass for Sensors Technology, GUS e.V (German Ass for Environmental Simulation) and ICCCS (International Confederation of Contamination Control Societies).

The present proposal is a great interest for SITEX45 due to innovative applications development of photonic sensing devices and actuators as well as specialized devices optical communications networks with reconfigurable properties like multiplexer/splitter/selector and spectrometry application. The PMP-PZL materials will allow a new challenging field of application for nano-scale photonic devices development with great potential of piezo-photonics applicability for environment, biomedical and biophotonics, optical telecommunications networks.
