nano-InnoBarometer

A tool to measure innovation in nanotechnology and guide strategic decision-making.


Online Survey to Stakeholders

In case you could not attend nanoRIS3 session during Mission 10.000, until 16th November you still have the chance to participate in online survey to nanotechnology stakeholders.


NanoRIS3 Plurirregional Working Group

Created to:

  • Identify strategic segments of investment.
  • Organize stakeholder consultations.
  • Map search and demand of nanotech-based market solutions.
  • Map existent infrastructures of research and production within the POCTEP area.
  • Nominate the technical teams responsible for nanoRIS3, nano-InnoBarometer, nano-Stakeholders Survey
Activity 2

Launch of a Mobile and Web-based Platform – The nanoGateway


Co-design and deploy a nano-driven multiregional digital platform

  • Connect and match partners from the business and scientific worlds.
  • Tackle specific RTD+I challenges.
  • Act as a marketing tool for nano-based projects.

Activity 3

International dissemination of research and innovation


NanoGateway Annual Conferences that will showcase nanotech-based scientific excellence and innovative applications developed within the Cross-Border Regions and internationally.

Activity 4

Implementation of Short-Term Knowledge Transfer Activities Involving Researchers and Industry


Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter Schools for students and researchers from both academia and industry, organized by INL in collaboration with Universities and RTD Centers from POCTEP area.

  • Spring school 2018 on NanoBioEngineering for Medicine
  • Summer school 2018 on NanoMedicine
  • Autumn school 2018 on Quantum Technologies
  • Winter school 2019

Short-term mobility programs for researchers from industry, scientific community and academia.

Mobility Stages at INL, for industry researchers, scientific community and students: Up to 8 weeks under INL tutorship developing customized activities.


Workshops H2020. RTD Funding for collaborative projects

  • 4 workshops (2 per year), involving scientific & business world, learning together how to define, write and submit competitive proposals to international funding programs.
  • 2 contest (2 per year): the best 5 RTD Project ideas will receive support services for the preparation and submission of the proposal.
