Theme 4:Theme 4:Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, Nanosciences, nanotechnologies,

materials materials and new production technologiesand new production technologies

Overall objective: improve the competitiveness of EU industry (including SMEs) and ensure its transformation through:

the effective transition from a resource-based to knowledge-based industry

generation of new breakthrough, applicable, knowledge

strengthening EU leadership in nano, materials and production technologies

emphasis on integrating different technologies and disciplines across many sectors

Importance of Technology Platforms to help establish common research priorities and targets



Four activities:

1. Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

2. Materials

3. New production

4. Integration of technologies for industrial applications



1. Nanosciences and nanotechnologiesObjective: increase and support the take up of knowledge generated in this revolutionary field for all industrial sectors

Topics include: interface and size dependent phenomena; materials properties at nano-scale; self assembly; metrology; new concepts and approaches; impacts on health and safety; convergence of emerging technologies



2. MaterialsObjective: generate new knowledge to enable new industrial products and processes to be achieved, exploiting the potential of interdisciplinary approaches in materials research.

Topics include: high performance, sustainable and knowledge-based materials; design and simulation; nano-, bio- and hybrid materials and their processing; chemical technologies and materials processing industries



3. New production

Objective: create continuously innovating production capabilities to achieve leadership in industrial

products & processes in the global marketplace.

Topics include: Knowledge-intensive production; new paradigms for emerging industrial needs; adaptive, networked and knowledge-based production; convergence of technologies for next generation of high value-added products (nano, bio, info, cognitive..)



4. Integration of technologies for industrial applications

Objective: accelerate the rate of industrial transformation by exploiting the application potential and integration of new

technologies.

Topics include: Integration of nano, materials and production technologies in sectoral and cross-sectoral applications (e.g. health, construction, transport, energy, chemistry, environment, textiles & clothing, pulp & paper, mechanical engineering)
