NANO Initiative

created on 09 Mar 2009

The Austrian NANO Initiative is a multi-annual funding programme for Nanoscale  Sciences and Nanotechnologies (NANO for short) in Austria. It coordinates NANO  measures on the national and regional levels and is supported by several Ministries, Federal provinces and funding institutions, under the overall control of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT).
The programme is managed by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT). The orientation and the structure of the Austrian NANO Initiative have been developed jointly with scientists, entrepreneurs and intermediaries.

The NANO Initiative addresses all NANO players from university and non-university research, as well as enterprises located in Austria. International partners are welcome to participate in all Programme Action Lines.
NANO is regarded as a set of promising future technologies with an enormous development and application potential in many sectors of industry and many areas of life. It is therefore a strategically important focus for Austrian research and industry.
