EPPN First Wokshop gathers more than 140 participants in Brussels

In the aftermath of the 1st European Pilot Production Network Workshop that took place today in Brussels, INL thanks every single one that was part of this great opportunity to introduce the #EPPN and the planned CSA activities. We are proud to have had the privilege to talk and discussed with more than 140 participants from the EPPN CSA Consortium, EPPN External Advisory Board, H2020 and FP7 pilot projects, European Commission and the Nanosafety Cluster, Modelling and characterization Councils. The EPPN, led by INL, is a project striving to be instrumental as a coordination initiative and virtual marketplace, supporting the development of pilot production business networks, and facilitate the access for new costumers and potential investors, for better exploiting the opportunities offered from both EC and National activities.

ISO 9001:2015 Certifies high standard of INL

The Quality Management System of the INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory received the ISO 9001: 2015 certification in an official ceremony held at INL premises, last Friday, November 24th. Lars Montelius, INL Director-General, stated that the “International certification represents the guarantor of the quality of our work for our partners and potential partners”. This certification was the confirmation of INL’s high standards of quality and recognition of the effort and commitment of all its employees to obtain exceptional results, reflecting the organization’s dedication to prioritizing the quality of its services, through a constant improvement of its internal processes.

NanoGateway Project Kick-Off

The NanoGateway Project, a €1.013.028 pluri-regional project led by INL and funded by the INTERREG V-A España-Portugal (POCTEP) held its first project meeting jointly with the presence of regional representatives at INL on October 20th. The project aims at implementing a pluri-regional strategy and action plan to explore and unlock the potential of nanotechnology in the generation of smart growth and well-being by developing a new collaborative approach among all actors of innovation value chains. INL, as Coordinator of the project together with the support of regional representatives and institutions, intends to strengthen the capacity to develop excellence in R & I and collaborative RTD projects on nanotechnology-based solutions and products in benefit of the industry and society. INL and key stakeholders from the eight Spanish and Portuguese Cross-Border regions will work together on the establishment of a network in the area of nanotechnology, setting the pillars for excellent research and deployment of nanotechnologies, reinforcing the competitiveness of the industry and thus, the global competitiveness of the POCTEP regions.

NMP-REG partners discuss policies to include nanotech in manufacturing

Norte Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR-N) and the INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory organized the third NMP-REG regional stakeholder group meeting, on 19th September, at the premises of CCDR-N, in Porto (Portugal). This meeting gathered stakeholders from the regional scientific and technological system, clusters and competitiveness poles and entities from the public sector. The main focus of the meeting was the identification and discussion on potential policy improvements in order to increase NMP adoption by manufacturing in Norte Region. Stakeholders took a very active role in this meeting and provided many inputs. This stakeholder meeting also aimed to discuss the project state of the art.

EPPN Project Kick-off

EPPN, the European Pilot Production Network, and Innovation Hubs is a €1M CSA initiative, funded by the European Union that kicked off on 1 June 2017. Four partners from across Europe – INL, Cambridge Nanomaterials Technology (CNT), NANOfutures and Onvega – are working together on the establishment of a solid and quality network of European pilot production pilot facilities in the area of nanotechnology and advanced materials to support pilot production, setting the pillars to the rapid deployment of new technology and, ultimately, reinforcing the creation of new businesses. Leading the project is INL. The project will run for 36 months. To keep up-to-date with this project’s developments, please consult the project website at www.eppn.eu. This project has received funding from the European Union’s H2020 Framework Programme under grant agreement no 768681.
