About NanoNET Austria

The convergence and integration of the various specializations of nanotechnology is seen as a necessity, which requires a tight cooperation between commercial and/or industrial nanotechnology users, producers of nanotechnology products and research facilities in the field of nanotechnology research.

Besides the promotion of cooperative projects between industry and science, the network and cooperation of an implementation-oriented research in the field of nanotechnology is a key element in networks and platforms for the successful implementation of the Austrian nano-strategy.

One additional goal is to analyze the potential of nanotechnology for organizations.

The strategical objectives of the NanoNET-platform are defined as follows:   

- clarify the knowledge base and competences for fields of application relevant to Austria;

- allow the diffusion of technological knowledge and empowering the cooperation between science and economy

- strengthen the multidisciplinarity and

- support the implementation of nanotechnology;

- allow access to know-how and foreign cooperative partners 

- raise international visibility.
