Contribution to Global Output
Great role for RDI in such dynamics
Shares of World Manufacturing Output by
Civilization or Country, 1750-2000 (in

Nanotechnology RD in FP6 Almost 1.4 billion in
more than 550 projects
Nanobio in FP6 and FP7 are not specific
actions but integrated in various
themes exploiting the  converging  potential
EC funding by FP6 programme, M
4
NMP FP6 projects, e.g.
  • Some examples of EU FP6  nano bio projects
  • Bio non bio interactions, communication of
    the matter
  • Self assemblying and self organisation
  • Molecular Machines and Artificial Mimics
  • Nanostructured materials and composites
  • Enzymes
  • Carbon Nanotubes for Applications in
    Nano-Biology
  • Supramolecular Architectures on Surfaces
  • Various applications biofouling, functionalised
    textiles, agricolture, food, packaging,
  • Fluidics
  • Manufacturing, instruments
  • Nanomedicine regenerative medicine targeted
    drug delivery, diagnostics, theranostics
  • Safety (production, handling, use,
  • Innovation related challenges metrology,
    patenting,
  • Facilitating the dialogue research - business -
    civil society

Two important drivers Health care Sustanible
development
5
During last years research in nanomedicine has
been encouraged
  • Ongoing EU FP6 portfolio is of 250 million
    (25 million for studying the impact of
    nanoparticles on health and the environment)
  • Emphasis on treating diseases, not on human
    enhancement

Why  nano  for health care ?

All issues have to be timely addressed
  • More knowledge
  • Education
  • Research
  • Infrastructures
  • Capacity of application
  • Engineering
  • Manufacturing
  • Patents
  • Regulations
  • Reliability
  • Metrology
  • Standards
  • Risk assessment
  • To be in tune with society
  • Expected response to society needs, to peoples
    expectations Balance and perception of risks and
    benefits
  • and concerns
  • Cultural attitude to novelty
  • Conformity to ethical principles

Research needs money Innovation needs measures
some issues are better addressed at local,
national, EU or global level
9
some challenges for RD I
  • New and higher performance products and services
    at reasonable costs
  • Creative research for substantial (not only
    incremental) industrial innovation products,
    processes and organisation
  • Sustainable and responsible development
  •  Consensual innovation 
  • Exploitation of interdisciplinary approaches and
    the  convergence  of disciplines, like Nature
    does
  • To be able to say  no  and not trying to do
    everything at all levels ?? subsidiarity

10
e.g. education and training may be challenged
11
e.g. peoples perception may be challenged
12
Is existing regulations challenged ?

  • Funding for Nanotechnology RD in FP7
  • Almost 60 activities in the calls opened in 2007
    are directly relevant
  • Several themes and specific programmes
  • 300-400M estimated for 2007, increasing after
    2008
  • In total doubling of the rate of funding
    expected over duration of FP7 compared to FP6
  • Workprogrammes for 2008 in late 2007
