1^st March - 31^st March

Objective

The calls are aiming to engage the partners in research and network activities (JRA 2&3) targeting the chain development and synergy (horizontal & vertical integration) between the installations. The projects should undertake cross-installations activities, supported by a minimum of 2 participating organisations. An involvement of users in one or another form is a PLUS. For example, this could be initiated by a TNA project.
Two types of projects are envisaged:

• At least one partner + at least one user/user group (external integration);
• At least two installations from different partners/infrastructures (internal integration).

The project may integrate/build upon national and EC projects in which the partner organisations are involved.  

Ambition

The focus of proposals should be on:

• Identifying discrepancies between the requirements of users and capabilities of the installations.
• Developing tests practices across technologies and process chains.
• Characterising/developing direct low throughput micro/nano patterning technologies for fabrication of prototypes and batch-manufacture of masters.
• Adopting process modelling and CAD/CAM tools that facilitate process integration.
• Cross-infrastructures benchmarking projects for assessing alternative/ complementary processes. 
• Cross-infrastructures pilot projects for developing new process chains.
• Developing demonstrators, e.g. reference process chains, to illustrate the capabilities of the integrated infrastructures in meeting specific users’ requirements.
