Some recent projects

nano4m-Nanotechnology for Market. INTERREG IVC Programme

nano4m aims at improving strategies and building networks to design nanotechnology for market. The project tackles some of the challenges identified in relation to the functioning of the regional innovation systems with the following objectives:

• To improve the regions’ capacity to shorten the gap between R&D and market testing new Research-to-Market processes (R2M)
• To strengthen the interregional collaboration by identifying and developing specific research and business opportunities of common interest in the emerging field of nano/microtechnology
• To increase competitiveness of innovation infrastructure at regional, national and European level
• To improve the efficiency of regional innovation policies by drawing recommendations and implementing best practices.

nano4m involves eleven partners from four European regions.

Design of new materials with low dimensionality and controlled geometry. Code: MAT2006-01997.

The research on these materials is stimulated by the multiple possibilities of application in various fields such as catalysis, gas separation or gas storage strategy.

Nanospintronics: theory and simulation. Code: 80134.

Project funded by the Nordic network in which the Modelling and Simulation group of the CINN colaborates with partners from Norway, Sweden, Finland and Germany.
