Micro and nano structured materials. This area integrates academic research with those of technologically advanced SMEs, as well as research spin-offs (in sectors such as electronics, energy or biomedical systems) for the development of innovative products/processes with high impact (e.g., liquid crystal, Organic LED) or for the transfer of proven solutions (e.g., laser applications, membranes) in traditional sectors.
Research laboratories can share expertise, human resources and advanced equipments; they represent ideal partners to offer concrete solutions to SMEs development needs.
