Project description
European conference on nanotechnology and advanced materials
The aim of the EU-funded ENF2019 project was to review the progress made in science and innovation during the Horizon 2020 programme. As part of this endeavour, it organised EuroNanoForum 2019, which took place on 12–14 June 2019 at the second largest administrative building in the world, the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Romania. The forum stood out as the most significant European event that brought together scientists, industrialists and policy makers. It was attended by participants from Europe and around the world, offering excellent opportunities to debate on cutting-edge research and successful industrial implementations in the area of nanotechnology and advanced materials.
Objective
"This Coordination Action aims to prepare a EuroNanoForum 2019 (ENF2019) conference focused on ""Nanotechnology and advanced materials progress under Horizon2020 and beyond"", where an overview on cutting edge research in nanotechnology and advanced materials areas will be provided, featuring the opportunity to present the successful industrial implementations.
The general objective of the ENF2019 is to attract a critical mass of researchers with relevant results and to facilitate their discussions with various stakeholders acting in nanotechnologies and advanced materials areas in NMBP. Also, EU and national policy makers will be invited and engaged in debates on future challenges and research priorities, especially in the perspectives of post-Horizon2020 scenarios. For that reason, the motto of the ENF2019 will be “Almost there - what’s next?.
ENF2019 would be a forum of research and innovation developed under Horizon 2020 open to all entities producing excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges. The goal is to review the achievements during Horizon2020 in world-class science production, innovation and as well as successful links to the public and private sectors working together in delivering innovation in all Horizon2020 priority areas.
The event is planned to start with 2-day conference where distinguished speakers will be invited to initiate timely discussions and exchange ideas on scientific issues encountered in nanotechnology and advanced materials progress, as well as key policy, industrial and societal issues.
A third day will be dedicated to networking between scientists, industrialists and policy makers to initiate future cooperation in research and innovation, to discuss strategic research priorities and to build partnerships for future funding calls, during the workshops and brokerage events.
Industrial and research exhibition and posters are planned to complement the event package."
