Project description
Micro/nano based sub-systems
A wide array of mixed technologies and competencies are needed to elaborate the memories which are used in many everyday life products (health, transportation - avionics, satellites-, telecommunication, automotive, process machines, and home systems). In the new era of ambient intelligence memory modules will take a major place as no intelligence function is possible without a memory function. Technologies to develop the future generation of "intelligent" memories are strategic for Europe since they will give a competitive advantage in the production of complex systems (produced in Europe) and contribute to European job creation.
It is thus very important to provide an overall vision on these technologies, a clear road map and dissemination of information not only towards leading laboratories and industry of the memory domain, but also towards leading European user companies and the SME community. It has often been pointed out that the negative gap of productivity currently observed between the USA and Europe is largely due to the difference in usage of the information technologies (IT) possibilities. WIND will help filling this gap for the memory technologies and related technologies (software, telecoms) and their numerous applications.
Three levels of dissemination will be addressed:
1- towards the European industrial companies and laboratories working in this important field of mass storage, through the update of the IMST White Book (a data storage road map and strategy for Europe), the organisation of IMST (Innovative Mass Storage Technologies) workshops, and the attached web site;
2- towards the European leading industrial sectors (transportation, energy, telecommunication, health and citizens needs);
3- towards the SME community in order to inform them of the new possibilities offered by the latest memories, encourage their use, give up-to-date information on the new technologies application areas, thereby increasing SME competitiveness.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
