3rd Call "Transnational Cooperative RTD Projects" 2010
With the programme action line "Transnational Cooperative RTD Projects", the NANO Initiative pursues the following objectives.
• Broadening the cooperation basis between science and industry
• Strengthening research competence in fields of application relevant to Austrian enterprises
• Accelerating technology transfer and increasing the economic utilisation of nanotechnology
• Improving access to know-how and to cooperation partners abroad
Funding is intended for innovative research and development projects with high risk. The project duration is limited to a maximum of 3 years. Project consortia consist of at least one Austrian company and one international partner. Proposals from all fields of nanosciences and nanotechnologies can be submitted. Furthermore the possibility for Austrian partners to participate in the MNT-ERA.NET Call 2010 is ensured.
In the MNT Transnational Call 2010, MNT-ERA.NET encourages the submission of market oriented proposals addressing micro and nano technologies including production processes and technologies. Particular emphasis is put on the following application fields:
• Smart sensor systems for Security, Environment and Entertainment (sensor networks, cognitive systems, spintronics, optical systems)
• Medical and health devices (networked monitoring of health parameters, bio sensors and actuators, bio interfaces, lab on chip)
• Functionalised interfaces and structures (micro/nano layers and surfaces, micro/nano structured materials, nano particles and powders)
• Energy for a mobile life (lightweight and energy efficient components, power generation, storage of energy medium, organic photovoltaics)
Austrian partners in a transnational project are funded by the Austrian NANO Initiative. The international partners have to look after funds from the funding institution in the partners’ own country.
This 3rd Call 2010 has a total budget of Euro 1.000.000.
How to apply?
The call is organised along the principle of a two-step open call with defined submission deadlines. The Pre-proposal and the Full Proposal have to be submitted online by means of the FFG’s eCall - the electronic submission system for project applications- https://ecall.ffg.at

MNT ERA-Net Call 2010
An ERA-NET is a network of regional and / or national funding programmes with the aim to reduce fragmentation of R&D funding in Europe. It is the goal of MNT-ERA.NET to make national support programmes in Micro and Nano Technologies (MNT) accessible to transnational consortia. 20 funding organisations from more than 18 countries participate in this Call 2010. Due to the cooperation and the coordinated procedure of the funding agencies, integrating a project into an ERA-NET has certain advantages.
Under the programme action line "Transnational Cooperative RTD Projects" only projects in the field of NANO can be submitted. Projects which do not fulfil the NANO Initiative’s requirements can also be submitted under the FFG‘s General Programmes which also take part in the MNT Call 2010.
