PROMETEO AVANTI

El proyecto AVANTI tiene como finalidad avanzar en la nanofotónica en silicio, de forma que se puedan desarrollar dispositivos y subsistemas con mejores prestaciones (velocidad de proceso, coste de producción, gasto energético, sensibilidad de detección, etc.) para los ámbitos del biosensado y las interconexiones ópticas. A largo plazo, el objetivo es habilitar nuevas tecnologías que mejoren la calidad de vida de la ciudadanía y que sean más respetuosas con el medio ambiente así como de contribuir al desarrollo de una sociedad más justa y equilibrada. De esta forma, AVANTI pretende desarrollar una tecnología transversal, con múltiples sectores de posible aplicación, que se ubica en la intersección entre la fotónica y la nanotecnología, ambas consideradas tecnologías facilitadoras esenciales (Key Enabling Technologies) tanto en Horizonte 2020 como en el Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica, Técnica y de Innovación.
