It is the goal of MNT-ERA.NET to make national support programmes in MNT accessible to transnational consortia. Five calls for transnational, pre-competitive research projects have already been executed (summary previous Calls) demonstrating successful transnational cooperations between national and regional funding programmes.

MNT-ERA.NET continues to encourage the submission of commercialisable R&D proposals addressing all fields of micro and nano technologies including production processes and technologies. Project consortia consisting of at least two parties from two different participating countries/regions will be invited.

In this Transnational Call 2011, particular emphasis will be put on the following applications:

• Processing of (multi)material systems (e.g. nanostructured materials, composites and micro/nano multimaterial systems, processes for low cost high volume manufacturing) 
• Materials functionalisation (e.g. nano objects, structured surfaces & interfaces)
• Smart Sensor Systems (e.g. sensor networks, sensors for logistics, control of infrastructure, electronic identification systems, cognitive systems, optical systems)
• Medical and health devices (e.g. networked monitoring of health parameters, bio sensors and actuators, bio interfaces, lab on chip) 
• Life cycle (optimisation) processes for micro/nano systems, development methods, reliability assessment, integration technologies (e.g. energy efficient production technologies, energy harvesting and storage systems, power conversion and management, recovery of rare materials)
