MNT-ERA.NET sets up and runs a structure to sustain and strengthen the collaboration between funding programmes and agencies for transnationally coordinated funding for Micro and Nano Technology research and development in Europe. MNT ERA-Net makes these funding programmes accessible to transnational consortia and opens calls for proposals for transnational R&D projects in the MNT area.
MNT-ERA.NET continues to encourage the submission of commercialisable R&D proposals addressing all fields of micro and nano technologies including production technologies. Project consortia consisting of at least two parties from two different participating countries/regions are invited to submit proposals.
In this Transnational Call 2010, particular emphasis is put on the following applications:
- Smart sensor systems for Security, Environment and Entertainment (sensor networks, cognitive systems, spintronics, optical systems).
- Medical and health devices (networked monitoring of health parameters, bio sensors and actuators, bio interfaces, lab on chip.
- Functionalised interfaces and structures (micro/nano layers and surfaces, micro/nano structured materials, nano particles and powders).
- Energy for a mobile life (lightweight and energy efficient components, power generation, storage of energy medium, organic photovoltaics
