Objective The proposal objectives are: to identify knowledge based functional surfaces; to strengthen the European scientific and technological bases; to identify centers of excellence within the EU; and study the prospective contribution of those technologies to the Community sustainable economic growth. As such SURFILM will study RTD issues related to industrial competitiveness and sustainable growth as a result of specific emerging technologies in the area of Surface Technology. The project will classify knowledge-based surfaces and films and propose European areas of R&D; map Centers of Excellence for knowledge based surfaced and films, involved in scientific, technological and industrial activities. The project results will be disseminated to the Community and exploitation via the 6th Framework Program, through RTD projects and Networks of Excellence on knowledge based functional surfaces and films.
