Intended to help Europe achieve a critical mass of capacities needed to develop and exploit, especially for greater eco-efficiency
and reduction of discharges of hazardous substances to the environment, leading-edge technologies for the knowledge-based products,
services and manufacturing processes of the years to come.
Main objectives:
Contribution to the creation of the scientific base for the transition of European production industry from resource-based towards
knowledge-based, more environment-friendly approaches.
Thematic areas:
- Nano-technologies and nano-sciences
- long-term interdisciplinary research into understanding phenomena, mastering processes and developing research tools
- nanobiotechnologies
- nanometre scale engineering techniques
- handling and control devices
- applications
- Knowledge-based multi-functional materials
- development of fundamental knowledge
- technologies for production, transformation and processing
- engineering support for materials development
- New production processes and devices new
- processes and flexible and intelligent manufacturing systems
- systems research and hazard control
- optimising life-cycles
Budget:
The indicative budget allocated to the Thematic Priority Nanotechnologies and nanosciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials
and new production processes and devices for the duration of FP6 is 1.300 MEUR.
