An ecosystem to accelerate the uptake of innovation in materials technology : report by the high level group of EU Member States and associated countries on nanosciences, nanotechnologies and advanced materials

The High Level Group of EU Member States and Associated Countries on Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies and Advanced Materials has looked into barriers and obstacles that need to be addressed in order to accelerate the industrial uptake of nanotechnologies and advanced materials. It agreed on a list of potential actions that the Member States and Associated Countries may carry out in four key areas for upscaling: characterisation, modelling translation, pilots and safety. These actions may ultimately help increasing the competitiveness of the European industry (incl. SMEs) and have a positive impact on growth and jobs in Europe.
