NANOSPAIN Network objectives:

Ø     Facilitate research planning and coordination

Ø     Define objectives for the research and development needs that will ensure Spanish activities will be competitive with the developments in Europe

Ø     Strength contacts within European and/or US Nanotechnology research Institutes

Ø     Disseminate European and US Nanotechnology Initiatives

Ø     Foster the exchange of knowledge between Spanish groups working in the different fields related to Nanotechnology (in the public and private sector)

Ø     Increase collaborations between universities, research institutions and private and public companies

Ø     Identify scientific priority areas in emerging technologies and thereby assist in the formulation of research and development strategies

Ø     Promote intensively industrial participation in the NanoSpain Network activities informing the industry about relevant progresses in nanotechnology and providing a feedback loop for industrial mid and long-term interests.

Ø     Facilitate technology transfer of exploitable results

Ø     Allow Spanish groups working on Nanotechnology to present their research through the network WEB site.

Ø     Establish close relationship with others European initiatives (Networks of Excellence, Platforms, etc.).

Ø     Create a Spanish source of information (WEB site) related to nanotechnology based for example on:

     A list of all active Spanish research groups and companies presently involved in nanotechnology.

     Dissemination of basic research results (publications, abstracts, references per group and/or topic, conference proceedings, etc.), EU reports, EU projects' results (NID, FET Open, etc.), patents, etc.

     Dissemination of information and news related to nanotechnology such as conferences, workshops, job opportunities (from companies and Universities), grants (EU, University groups, etc.), etc.
