Objective
The continuous scale reduction in micro and nanotechnologies that enables advanced micro and nanoelectronics is sustained by an intense worldwide R&D effort aimed and understanding and controlling materials properties and dimensions down to a near atomic level. Advances are critically dependent on the availability of appropriate tools for the characterization of electronic and optical properties, structure and composition of the materials used. New materials, ever smaller device dimensions and the demand of higher detection sensitivities pose huge challenges to the capabilities of current analysis equipment and expertise of analysts. They drive the quest for enhanced equipment performance and new methodology and process development. They also require the application of an increasingly wide array of analytical techniques in order to provide the necessary information. At present, European laboratories with core competencies in materials characterization and trace analysis operate largely independently. The ANNA project is a proposal to set up a collaborative, synergistic network of analytical scientists and institutions each with different but complementary competencies and analytical expertise to provide the integrated approach necessary to solve materials problems. The capabilities of such an Integrated Activity will be available to EU universities, research laboratories and industry. The instrument for this is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) in which the activities are: a) networking in which "golden" reference labs are formed and institutions and facilities are integrated to a analytical joint laboratory cluster; these laboratories are used as certified references and supply standardized methodologies; b) transnational access which enables access to the infrastructure offered by a number of partners; c) focussed joint research aimed at enhancing methods, assessment tools, preparation methodologies and evaluation systems and creating new knowledge.

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.
