Joint ETPN/EC Expert Workshop Results
"Roadmaps in Nanomedicine towards 2020"

In close collaboration with the European Commission, the ETP Nanomedicine is currently investigating how its Strategic Research Agenda can be transformed into a roadmap-based action plan. This is required in order to provide input to upcoming calls in the 7th Framework Programme, as well as to help to shape future work programmes such as FP8.
To achieve this, an expert workshop to discuss the strategic
challenges in the area of Nanomedicine, to identify roadblocks or
barriers as well as possible breakthrough areas was held in Brussels on
19.-20. February 2009. The ultimate goal of this workshop was to create
a comprehensive vision of the R&D needs for Nanomedicine until the
year 2020.
The workshop focused on three main areas:
- Regenerative Medicine
- Drug Delivery
- Diagnostics
The results of the workshop shall be discussed during the General Assembly of the ETP amongst the members of the ETP.
The Round Table presentations and the Minutes are already available for the participants of the WS and to the members of the ETP.
