Tender: options for a European nanotechnology R&D strategy - a technometric and socio-econometric analysis
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research has published a call for tenders to analyse options for a European nanotechnology research and development (R&D) strategy. The study aims to establish a monitoring system that will allow examination of the economic impact of nanotechnologies and nanosciences, examine how nanoscale research, products and markets are evolving over time; and present detailed analyses of key domains for future investments (modalities, instruments, expected impacts) in nanotechnology R&D, showing the highest growth potential for European industry and society at large. The study is meant to set up a tool and to collect data for monitoring the economic and innovation performance of a range of sectors of the economy in which nanotechnologies do, or could, play a significant role.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General for Research Directorate G: Industrial technologies Office CDMA 6/133 Attn: Ms Nathalie Van Neck B-1049 Brussels Tel. +32 2 2969 403 Fax +32 2 2986 150 E-mail: Nathalie.Van-Neck@ec.europa.eu To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:288516-2009:TEXT:EN:HTML(opens in new window)
