The 'Safe Implementation of Innovative Nanoscience and Nanotechnology' project's first call for proposals
|
|
(Nanowerk News) The SIINN (Safe Implementation of Innovative Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) ERA-NET promotes the safe and rapid
transfer of European research results in nanoscience
and nanotechnology into industrial
applications. National and regional resources will
create a transnational programme of research.
SIINN will bring together today's fragmented
research activities on the potential risks of engineered
nanomaterials for environment, human health,
and safety.
|
|
The first joint call for transnational projects of the SIINN initiative will open on March 20, 2012. The deadline for submitting proposals is June 5, 2012, 12:00 CET.
