Successful General Assembly of the ETP Nanomedicine

Gathered in the town hall of the historic city center of Münster participants from industry, academia and European Commission had the opportunity to share and give additional information on roadmaps for the working groups regenerative nanomedicine, drug delivery and diagnostics. The contributions resulting from the moderated discussions will be used to improve the final report that has to be submitted to the European Commission to give a guideline on future calls for the years to come.

The two day event also provided a communication platform for networking and consortium building with leading experts. All this was accompanied by local and state representatives from Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia and German government.

In addition to this, participants received the latest information on the ERA Net - EuroNanoMed work programme and its calls, and also a first look of what could be a new area, the Neuronano.

The primary objectives of the meeting were to give

• the final discussion of the Roadmaps of the ETP to be delivered to the EC in Summer 2009
• information about the ERANET EuroNanoMed and its calls to be launched in May 2009
• information about input in and impact on the work programmes of the EC units NMP, Health and ICT
• discussion of future directions of European industrial R&D in nanomedicine in view of the increasing competition from the US and Asia.
