| b) |
MATNANTECH |
Material, micro and nanotechnology science and engineering represent an applied multidisciplinary research domain necessitating the participation of specialists from extremely varied fields such as: a) fundamental sciences: physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics; b) engineering (electronics, communications, automatics, computers, electrotechnics, metallurgy, aircraft, medicine) The programme “New materials, micro and nanotechnologies” aims at creating a synergy of the contributions made by the specialists in thes fields, thus obtaining results superior to individual opening of the way made by researchers in a single field. |
No other competition in MATNANTECH Programme |
|
c) |
Program “Research for Excellence – CEEX” | Thematic direction 4: “Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and New Production Technologies”;/ basic and applied multidisciplinary research in the field of the this direction/ not dedicated technological focus | 2 calls (2005 and 2006); Not other competition |
Phases of R&D being funded (basic research, pre-competitive, application, serial production, market entry), funding rates (app.)
Eligible are joint multidisciplinary projects (Institutes, University, SMEs)
Research grants can range can range from 50 percent to 100 percent of eligible costs according to the type of research activity.
Major restrictions (e.g. types of institutions eligible for funding; SMEs, public/private etc., openness to transnational consortia)
Only Romanian applicants are financed
