European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry brokerage event |
|
(Nanowerk News) SusChem, the European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry, will be running another of its successful FP7 project brokerage event in Brussels on 11 December at the Hotel Bloom from 10:30 to 15:30.
|
|
The event will cover the recent FP7 project calls announced in the Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies. Materials and new Production technologies (NMP) area.
|
|
What is the aim? SusChem brokerage events aim to facilitate transnational R&D-collaboration between industry, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and research organisations in relevant FP7 projects and under other European funding schemes.
|
|
Who should attend? Representatives from all European companies, universities, technology centres and research institutes active in chemistry and related material sciences; Coordinators of FP7 projects; and other R&D networks and platforms.
|
|
The event will help FP7 collaborations in chemistry and material science through the initiation of collaborative projects or facilitating contact between potential research partners.
|
|
The event will feature an update on the status of SusChem and its future perspectives. European Commission personnel will present on the NMP 2009 work programme and give early indications of the outlook for the 2010 programme.
|
|
In the afternoon three parallel thematic group workshops will be held covering: Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies; Materials; and Production topics.
|
|
There will also be networking sessions and an opportunity to present posters on your expertise or project proposals and identify potential partners.
|
|
This SusChem event is free to all but you must register to attend the meeting. To register visit: http://registration.suschem.org/
