Other EU Networks of Excellence

The Metamorphose Network of Excellence works on organizing international cooperative research in the field of new artificial electromagnetic materials (metamaterials), with electromagnetic properties that cannot be found among natural materials. The Network builds a Virtual Institute on artificial
electromagnetic material as an "focus point" for researchers in this area. It organizes a series of international conferences in this field, the Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics.

European Network of Excellence on Photonic Integrated Components and Circuits
The European FP6 Network of Excellence ePIXnet provides a platform to its academic and industrial partners for sharing and integrating research facilities and research know-how in the field of photonic integrated components and circuits.

A network for bringing NANOtechnologies TO LIFE
The aim of Nano2Life is to merge existing European expertise and knowledge in the field of nanobiotechnology in order to keep Europe as a competitive partner of the US and Japan and to make it a leader in nanobiotechnology transfer in 5 years time. Nano2Life aims to set the basis of a virtual European Nanobiotech Institute, focused on the understanding of the nanoscale interface between biological and non biological entities, and its possible application in the area of complex and integrated novel sensor technologies, for health care, pharmaceuticals, environment, defence, food safety, etc (24 partners).

The MONA project will bridge the gap between photonics and nanotechnologies. Photonics/nanophotonics and nanomaterials/nanotechnologies can benefit from each other in terms of new functions, materials, fabrication processes and applications. The MONA project will foster collaborations between photonics and nanotechnologies stakeholders and will help preparing future research activities.
There are three principal objectives for the MONA project:

  1. Create a common site for the exchange of information concerning research, networks of excellence, and integrated projects in photonics and nanotechnologies.
  2. Promote the timely exchange of scientific results, market development, and technology needs through MONA-developed workshops.
  3. Develop a European roadmap for photonics and nanotechnologies
