Stimulating, Encouraging and Facilitating the Participation of ACC Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Research Organisations To FP6

Final Report Summary - STEF-NANO-ACC (Stimulating, Encouraging and Facilitating the Participation of ACC Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Research Organisations To FP6)

The STEF-NANO-ACC project was a 12-month Specific Support Action (SSA) project whose strategic objective was to improve the engagement of NMP organisations of new Member States in structuring and strengthening the European Research Area (ERA) through better participation in NMP calls for proposals, renewing the enthusiasm in Europe for science and technology, catalysing researchers, boosting Europe's competitiveness with sustainable growth, strengthening and expanding cooperation among Member States and the New Member States (NMSs) as well as facilitating cooperation with countries outside the EU.

The project was well promoted and allowed to facilitate in many NMS organisations and take active part in NMP activities, namely conference calls, partnering meetings, and other activities of the project, including contests for young researchers and fora for project presentations. The project has also had an impact on consortia building for the last NMP call. At least one IP project coordinator from NMS arose from the partnering meetings organised by the project. Many corporations are taking place now due to the fact that the service was offered by the SSA project. The project encouraged many people for international cooperation building at the same time with the ERA.
