7th Framework Programme - NMP |

Duración: |
January 2008 - May 2012 |
|
|
Objetivo: |
NanoSci-E+ is the direct outcome of the coordination work initiated within NanoSci-ERA and is based on the experience gained from the organisation in 2006 of a first transnational call for collaborative projects. The objective of NanoSci-E+ is the launching, management and follow-up of a second call to which all the members able to mobilize funds participate. |

|
Actividades: |
The implementation of the call will follow modalities similar to those used for the first transnational call run by NanoSci-ERA.
Although advantage is being taken of off-the-shelf procedures developed by NanoSci-ERA, a whole body of preparatory work has also been achieved specifically for NanoSci-E+. It consists of:
- The definition of a thematic orientation, based on a renewed approach.
- A revised reviewing procedure in order to better handle a high number of submissions necessitating a broad range of expertise for their evaluation, hence a large panel of referees with different backgrounds.
- Conclusive discussions on the funding scheme and the call budget.
- The writing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) covering all aspects of the call in a detailed manner.
When details are not explicitly included in the MoU, general principles are set to provide a framework for future implementation decisions. |

NanoSci-E+ Transnational Call for Collaborative Proposals (2008)
The present call is limited to ground-breaking research projects that address the issue of interfacing functional nano-objects or nano-materials.
It covers primarily the controlled formation of contacts and the study of coupling or communication/exchange mechanisms between nano-objects. The emphasis is on interfacing rather than on interfaces. Also included are studies dealing with the functional coupling between a nano-object and a larger object through an identified nano-specific gateway (e.g. between a nano-particle and a living cell through a protein of the membrane).
The characterization studies of nano-interfaces, and especially hard-soft interfaces (e.g. for spintronics or molecular electronics) are within the scope of the present call, as long as they represent enabling/critical steps towards nano-object interfacing.
Excluded are studies of interfaces not meant to achieve a functional mediation (e.g. between a nano-material and a biological tissue to achieve bio-compatibility) or nano-structured surfaces not acting as functional interfaces but rather used for their high-effective surface areas.
