Objetivo
Surface technology ¡s a cross- sectional high-tech field of science and plays an important role in many
industrial sectors. Especially SMEs have the know how to take this chance to assure jobs and
promote the potential of surface technologies.
The ECTIST project aims on stimulating the participation of SMEs within the field of 'surface
technology' in ED research programmes leading to a more innovation-friendly environment for
business. This will be done by identifying and establishing 'surface technology clusters' in the
participating countries. The project will identify relevant topics of already funded European and
national projects and offer services on an European level for projects as well as for new consortia.
There are several steps to reach the aim of this project - the increasing participation of SMEs in the
Sixth Framework Programme:
establishment of thematic clusters to identify national thematic networks and other intermediaries
- thematic investigations on funded FP6 projects and relevant national programmes
- service for partner search for running FP6 projects and the establishment of new consortia
- Presentation and documentation of ECTIST activities in the internet
- identification and contacting of incubators and multipliers in the different sub sectors of surface
technology for dissemination activities.
The ECTIST consortia concentrates on all relevant subjects of research for the target group across
FP6. In addition, the project is in line with other Community policies relevant for innovation and will
work to strengthen the focus on all types of innovation as a continuous effort for the 'surface
technology' SME in Europe, specifically mentioned under the heading "Coherent development of
research and innovation policies".
