Abstract
Europe faces a situation in which the photonics industry is growing and needs more well-prepared
professionals to support its growth and innovation potential. Addressing this pressing need
requires engaging all photonics stakeholders to increase the visibility of the outstanding
professional opportunities of photonics and provide the future workforce with tools to increase
their employability.
CARLA, a new European funded project, aims to create a novel, rigorous and tested instrument
to address this need at the source. It will develop a model for European photonics career camp −a
reproducible 2-day intense, multi-format event− that 1) obtains coordinated input from all
stakeholders, 2) encourages STEM university students, PhD students and young postdocs to
pursue a career in photonics and 3) can be replicated by other organisations. CARLA will create a
robust, competitive and sustainable career camp that will be tested on 11 occasions during the
2020–21 period, solidifying a ready-to-replicate camp model. It will incorporate the dimensions of
industry, academia, innovation, entrepreneurship, and employability, putting special attention on
empowering diversity, both within the camps and in the future photonics workforce.
Sustainability of the model will be ensured through the creation of a virtual careers in photonics
hub that will support the photonics community at large during and beyond CARLA, and develop a
comprehensive handbook to facilitate camp replication. With the promotion of diversity serving as
one of the cornerstones in the design and implementation of CARLA, the project will furthermore
translate lessons learned in the camps into an “Empowering Diversity in Photonics” guide
applicable to future camps and the photonics community in general.
