Media Briefing:Sustainable Production- The Role of Nanotechnologies

Technical-University of Denmark (DTU),
Copenhagen Denmark

Described as "a new industrial revolution", nanotechnologies are at the keen edge of sustainable production in Europe. Already fuelling a broad spectrum of applications in industries as diverse as information technologies, automotive, cosmetics, chemical and transport, nanotechnologies deliver cleaner, safer, more competitive production processes, as well as smarter, more durable and more user-friendly products. Nanotechnologies and nanomanufacturing thus provide innovative answers to the triple challenge of sustainable development: how to fuel economic growth, while preserving the environment, and at the same time enhance the safety, security and quality of life of European citizens.

On September 26, 2001 the 6th TTPforum will take place in Baden-Baden (Germany), on the day before the VDI Congress 2001. Leading companies, such as Audi, austriamicrosystems, NEC, Volkswagen, and Volvo will present their activities around Time-Triggered Architecture (TTA). Other main topics of the TTPforum Conference "TTP - The Next Generation" are the new TTP ® /C protocol specification and the introduction of the new TTP/C silicon family "C2". Based on this chip generation a broad range of new systems, hardware, and implementation tools will become available.

The highlight of the event is the presentation of the TTA-Group. The prime intention of this consortium is the standardization of Time-Triggered Architecture in the automotive and aerospace industry.

Organised by: ECCREDI

To encourage the submission of proposals by the European construction industry, ECCREDI and its TRA Network are organising a 5FP proposals workshop in association with the EC.
The workshop will in particular focus on opportunities offered in the GROWTH KA1 "Innovative products, processes and organisation" and its generic action on Materials. Another important KA4 for the construction sector is undoubtedly the "City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage" of the EESD programme. Finally, the event will also seek to explain criteria for submitting proposals under the SME scheme (CRAFT,..) and to stimulate the interests of SME in FP5.
