On July 20th, 2010, the European Commission has publisched new reasearch calls in the Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies programme (NMP), which is part of the the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) reasearch general thematic "Cooperation". This programme includes the new Public-Private Partnership initiative (PPP), "Factories of the Future", whose objectif is to promote the convergence of public interests with industrial commitment and leadership to define strategic reserach activities in lieg sectors.
EMIRAcle has a strong interest in these calls, in particular in the "New Production" and "Integration" activities, as well as the tranversal calls in the "Factories of the Future" initiative.
EMIRAcle proposes to link the industrial and academic partners who want to answer to one of these calls. If you have any intent, please contact our office.
