Title : Nanomaterials: Research and Technology Roadmaps - Nano2020- The New Role of Large test Facilities in the World -

Abstract :
Overview of nanomaterials developments

Fundamental research : design of third generation nanomaterials,; characterisation methods, macro, mico-nano computer modelling, …

Research-technology roadmaps : 2010 - 2025 for :
• Breakthroughs in communication and information
• Grand challenges in life science and medical applications
• Nanomaterials with tailored functionalities for new generation energy sources
• Role of nanomaterials in transportation: aeronautics and car industry
• Potentials for the chemical industry: nanotextiles: laundry & home care, consumer products
• ………………….
Roadmaps 2010 – 2020 for nanoscience environment and safety
• Man-Made environment
• Nanopotentials in Safety (Toxicology) and Security
• Familiarise the Society with the new Culture of NanoTechnology” i.e. Consumer protection
• …………………………………
Guidelines for a prosperous economy and modern society
• Initiate “university – technology institutes - industry” partnerships
• Create Science and Technology Centres
• Initiate European Infrastructures for nanomaterials R&D&T
• Dedicate a new role to the Large test Facilities
• .............................

Model for a global nanolandscape
Nanoscience, technology and nanoindustrialisation are complex topics and cannot be subject anymore for one institute or industry, or nation. The success rate will depend on joining brilliancies. Models for international collaboration will be elaborated and mechanisms for execution proposed.
