CORDIS offers more concrete results on nanotechnology research
CORDIS, the European Commission's Research and Development Information Service, is hosting new nanotechnology project descriptions which highlight concrete project results. The nanotechnology thematic service offers direct and central access to information on funding opportunities, both at European and national level, project descriptions, publications and surveys, as well as network details. The section dedicated to press offers media briefings and a regularly updated showcase of projects. Selected projects underline the advantages of working with 'small things' and highlight existing examples of practical applications. New projects have been included on: recent developments in materials, techniques and devices covering nanotubes as well as thermoelectric and nanoscaled materials. For each item, journalists will find a full description of the project and related applications as well as illustrations. This additional information can also be useful for potential participants in the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). The indicative budget allocated to the thematic priority covering nanotechnologies and nanosciences amounts to 1.3 billion euro.
