11 October 2007 Micro/Nanotechnology Platform to Be Launched This January in Brussels
Following the establishment of an industrial management board, MINAM, the European Technology Platform for Micro- and Nanomanufacturing, announced that its official launch event would be a meeting held this coming January in Brussels. Meanwhile,the consortium is starting up an interactive website this month that offers easy-to-use tools for technology brokerage, as well as latest technology roadmaps. Board Chair Prof. Paolo Matteazzi of M.B.N Nanomaterialia and board members Manfred Diehl of Umicore, Dr. Jalba of Microelectronica, and Andrea Reinhardt of MicroTEC expect a successful meeting in Brussels January 23–24. The MINAM platform launch will be combined with a second brokerage day, which should build on the achievements of the first brokerage event coordinated by the platform in January 2007, at which 20 proposals were presented to 133 attendees. At the website, small and medium-sized business enterprises, industrial corporations, and research and education institutions are invited to check out new technologies, look for partners, and get assistance in preparing their proposals for the coming European Commission (EC) FP7 NMT (Nanoscience, Nanotechnologies, Materials, and New Production Technologies) second call, which will be published this November. MINAM is an open community established around research, industry, and European funding programmes. Its goals are to speed up the successful implementation of new technologies and to encourage the coordination of industrially focused R&D and the transfer of results from laboratory to industry in a socially acceptable manner. More than 400 MINAM stakeholders today are working to orient Europe’s R&D excellence toward the rapid transfer of research results into industrial production technologies and applications. The platform is supported by the EC and its projects µSapient, IPMMAN, and 4M, and is linked to the umbrella of ManuFuture (www.manufuture.org). For further information: MINAM
