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. |
| SIINN 1st Call |
| Funding will be offered to innovative projects focusing on commercially relevant Manufactured NanoMaterials (MNMs) in one of the following thematic fields: |
| 1. Establishment and development of models and methods for analytical tools, theoretical prediction, and characterization |
| 2. Exposure assessment |
| 3. Studies on Impacts of MNMs on environment |
| 4. Studies on properties and effects of MNMs |
| Detailed description of the topical fields is given in the Call text. |
| Project consortia consisting of at least three parties from at least two different participating countries can apply for funding. |
