NanoFabNet
- Start of project : 01-03-20
- End of project : 31-08-22
The NanoFabNet project will create a strong international network for sustainable nanomanufacturing, whose structure, business model, detailed strategies and action plans will be designed, approved and driven by its international stakeholders during the course of the project. NanoFabNet's future virtual collaboration space, NanoFabNet Hub, will be a self-sustaining platform that will help international stakeholders access expert knowledge on ethical, safe and sustainable nanomanufacturing.
The NanoFabNet Hub stands for an applied and guided approach to achieving high levels of safety and sustainability, recognized, reliable and qualitative techniques and compliance with and promotion of normative requirements by all its members and along the nanomanufacturing value chain.
Materia Nova's objectives and missions
Materia Nova will propose a methodology for identifying common challenges and opportunities in sustainable nanomanufacturing. Current strengths and weaknesses (skills, training, equipment or infrastructure) will be identified, and an action plan will be proposed with the aim of improving sustainable nanomanufacturing. The focus will be on sustainable requirements for scaling up nanomanufacturing (products and associated processes) from low TRL (academic and industrial demonstration at lab scale) to demonstration and validation in a relevant industrial environment (TRL > 5-6).
The consortium
The NanoFabNet project is coordinated by AcumenIST (AIST) and supported by 14 other partners from 9 European countries (Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Poland, Italy, Norway and USA).
