AIM Photonics is the sixth IMI and the fourth to be led by the Department of Defense (DoD). During the DoD selection process, the NPI coordinated responses from dozens of experts within the national photonics community. While the NPI did not endorse a specific proposal, it is strongly committed to supporting AIM Photonics through the platforms, programs and resources of its top scientific societies. On behalf of AIM Photonics, the NPI will serve as an interface with Capitol Hill and government agencies, and promote AIM Photonics through public outreach, educational and media initiatives. This webinar serves as the first of many communications from the NPI to the photonics community about the institute.
