Focused Ion Beam lithography equipment of the Nanotechnology platform

The partners of Nano2Life agreed to join their forces and resources in order to achieve its goal of building a European RTD-driven community between academia and industry, to improve European scientific excellence and industrial competitiveness in nanobiotech.

To reach these goals the partners annually agree on a Joint Programme of Activity (JPA) designed:

• To identify future applications or techniques to focus the research efforts on,
• To develop joint research projects along a strategic research programme,
• To facilitate the technology transfer to industry,
• To develop novel education and training in nanobiotech including human resource management,
• To provide access to facilities and know how leading to a common RTD platform with shared facilities, knowledge, methods, and electronic communications.

So far, Nano2Life has been quite successful with more than 200 scientists, engineers and medical doctors regularly participating to the various activities implemented by Nano2Life, thereby experiencing this step by step approach to European integration in nanobiotech.

You will discover in this section all facets of our comprehensive programme of activities including many aspects as diverse as education, access to facilities, ethics, relation with industry, intellectual property rights, human resource management and foresight. This is a living picture of the day to day work of some very committed people who represent the real face of Nano2Life.
