InnoMatNet
Granted Project:
Networking of materials laboratories and innovation
actors in various industrial sectors for product or process innovation -InnoMatNet
Coordinator: SPI, Portugal
Innomatnet runs from April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2014
Innomatnet is a project funded under the NMP (Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies) theme of the EC 7th Framework Programme.
Activities to be developed in the course of the project include:
- The identification of key stakeholders in the area of materials research in Europe, and the gap between their needs and the existing offer of initiatives and tools that support their product or process innovation;
- The development of best practice case studies of collaboration between materials researchers and industrial entrepreneurs, aiming at identifying best-performing business models to bring "communities" together;
- The development of a website, to act as a networking platform for European materials researchers and industrial entrepreneurs, as well as other relevant actors;
- The organization of networking and training events in different European countries with the purpose of joining all the right actors for new alliances;
- The organization of summer schools to educate interested students and train young researchers and engineers active in the field.
To achieve these goals the project has gathered organizations that will allow access to different actors in the innovation process.
