What is Nanofutures ?
• The aim of the Nanofutures platform is to develop a common roadmap with regard to nanotechnology
• Identification of strategic « key nodes »– Crossing between sectorial
needs and horizontal issues
Methodology
• Sectorial needs: representatives from ETP– ERTRAC, ENIAC, PHOTONICS21, ETPIS, ECTP,
