What does the NanoCharM project mean for Europe? |
|
The global demand for nanomaterials is expected to reach US$3.7 billion this year alone (2008), driven mainly by nanoscale metals and oxides. European developers and users of nanomaterials will be constrained by bottlenecks in characterization techniques, many of which are slow, expensive and inefficient. NanoCharM will coordinate and strengthen European competence in the field of non-destructive and non-invasive characterization of multifunctional nanomaterials, with special emphasis on spectroscopic ellipsometry and polarimetry optical tools. It will facilitate communication between research groups and those industries fabricating nanomaterials, including the life sciences / biotechnology, nanoelectronics and semiconductor industries, leading to even better techniques. |

NanoCharM: First of Two Kinds |
|
NanoCharM, a Coordination and Support Action funded by the EU is notable for two firsts’. Not only was it the first to be signed under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme, with a start date of January 1st 2008, but was also the highest ranked CSA project to be approved.
