The European micro-nanotechnology business accelerator for small and medium-sized enterprises |
| There
is not yet a centralized database of national and governmental funding activities,
although initiatives to achieve this are ongoing on EU level (e.g. within
CORDIS) or at national levels (e.g. IVAM Germany and other national programs).
To steps forward in this issue, experiences of existing national programs
should be compiled in order to identify best of breed measures. |
| A closer
look should certainly be taken at Austria, in order to figure out how this
network of funds works ( Austrian Science Fund (FWF) - Nanotechnology, Microtechnology
in Austria 2001 - 2003 and, Nanoscience and nanotechnology in Austria 2003
- 2011). Furthermore the national initiatives of the Netherlands (www.stt.nl) and France (www.rmnt.org/EN/index.html) should be assessed to compare the advantages and shortcomings of both industrial and governmental initiated networks. |
