FP6 from 2004 to 2005. What does it cover? What is new related to nanotechnologies?
Thematic Priority 3 concentrates on:
i) Nanotechnology, as a flagship of the next industrial revolution
ii) Multi-functional knowledge-based Materials, as critical drivers of innovation
iii) New Production processes and devices, as the key to sustainable development
Overall approach and objectives of Priority 3
- Transition towards knowledge-based society & sustainable development, from resource-based to knowledge-based enterprises
- Strong impacts aimed at EU level
- Promotion of real industrial breakthroughs
not incremental research
- Integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach
- SME emphasis
FP6 from 2004 to 2005 What does it cover? What is new?
Work Programme 2005
What’s new?
- Ever increasing emphasis on industrial participation
- Higher integration of topics (see Area 4)
- Selective use of instruments: one single instrument per topic
- More topics addressed by IPs and STREPs
- Emphasis on integration and multidisciplinarity
WP 2005 and next calls
AREA 1: Na nosciences and Nanotechnologies
Focus on 5 topics
1.1 Long-term interdisciplinary research into understanding phenomena, mastering processes and developing research tools
- Towards converging technologies (STREP)
- Standardisation for nanotechnologies (SSA)
1.2 Nano-biotechnologies
- Using nature as a model for new nanotechnology-based processes (STREP)
1.3 Nano-metre-scale engineering techniques to create materials and components
- Three-D nano-structures based on elements other than carbon (STREP)
1.4 Development of handling and control devices and instruments (none)
1.5 Applications in areas such as health and medical systems, chemistry, food and the environment
- Nanotechnology-based targeted drug delivery (IP)
- Interaction of engineered nanoparticles with the environment and the living world (STREP)
