An academic-industry partnership plans to spend €750 million over five years on nanotechnology research
A group of universities, research institutes and companies have launched Nano4Society, a public-private research programme aimed at developing nanotechnology applications in health, nutrition, public safety and sustainable energy.
The programme, launched on 25 September, requires a budget of approximately €150 million a year over five years, the University of Twente said in a statement. Much of this has already been secured through existing projects that fit under the Nano4Society umbrella.
