Over the 5 past years, the Photon department has been involved in 8 European projects, 8 ANR projects, 12 industrial projects, and 19 other projects (12 internationals, 7 nationals), several being coordinated by the Institut Pascal. The department has been recently involved in two Laboratories of Excellence devoted to mobility (IMobS3) and Gallium Nitride-based nanostructures (GANEX). The list of currently running projects is given below.
