UKIVA Director, Don Braggins, has registered to join a database of independent experts for the European Union's Framework 7 initiative.

UKIVA Director, Don Braggins, has registered to join a database of independent experts for the European Union's Framework 7 initiative.

Framework 7 is the next of the European Union's programmes of research and technological development, following Framework 6, and will run from 2007 until 2013.

The Framework programmes are the EU's main method for funding research in Europe, with the aim being to make, or keep, the EU as a world leader in specific sectors.

Experts from the database can be called on to assist in the evaluation of proposals in line with the various scientific, technological and socioeconomic aims of Framework 7, or to assist in the monitoring of projects selected and funded by the Community.

Experts may also become involved in the monitoring of the implementation, evaluation and assessment of impacts of RTD programmes and policies.

Braggins said: "Naturally my area of expertise lies in machine vision, and I have registered as an expert because the research programme includes a number of core photonic components and subsystems, which are essential in multiple application fields".

"Of particular relevance to machine vision are: high brightness, power efficient solid-state light sources for ICT and general lighting applications, high-performance image sensors and sensors exploiting innovative sensing principles".
