The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding research and development projects on the topic of “Reliable material innovations – Nano Care4.0” within the framework program “From Material to Innovation” (2015-2025).
This funding initiative is part of the new Hightech Strategy of the German Federal government. It aims at innovation and growth of the industry in Germany. A close cooperation between companies and research institutes in the university and non-university sector, the involvement especially the contributions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as the exploitation of the project results in Germany is of outstanding importance.
NanoCare4.0 – Reliable material innovations – the new BMBF funding measure
At present, the development and production of new materials are facing fundamental changes. New ways of material development include virtual material development with a computer-aided design, increasingly use digital data for modelling and simulation and support research into new material classes. Safety aspects must therefore be taken into account at an early stage in the development process and throughout the entire life cycle of the material. In order to meet these demands of industry and consumers, the new NanoCare4.0 funding measure is to investigate not only nanomaterials, but all innovative materials that are suspected of having harmful effects on the environment or health.
NanoCare4.0 Projects: CarboBreak, CarbonFibreCycle, MetalSafety, NanoBioQuant, NanoCELL, InnoMat.Life, NanoINHAL
Umbrella Project: DaNa4.0
