What is Nanofutures ?

• The aim of the Nanofutures platform is to develop a common roadmap with regard to nanotechnology

• Identification of strategic « key nodes »– Crossing between sectorial

needs and horizontal issues

Methodology

• Sectorial needs: representatives from ETP– ERTRAC, ENIAC, PHOTONICS21, ETPIS, ECTP,

MANUFUTURE, NANOMEDICINE, MINAM, EUMAT, SUSCHEM, FTC

• Horizontal issues:– Research/Technology – Industrialization/nano-Manufacturing – Communication – Safety Research – Industrial safety Strategy – Industrial Nanosafety Strategy Group – Standardization – Regulation – Technology Transfer and Innovation Financing – Networking – Skills and Education
