Ever smaller, ever more sophisticated
Nanotechnologies have emerged as key technologies for this century. Microsystems technology takes them out of the labs of researchers and puts them into industrial products. Newly, the funding area of Micro- and Nanotechnologies also extended the expertises in the innovation fields of energy research.
CTI plays an important role in the promotion of this process. Its job is not only to effectively support collaborations between universities and industry in the area of micro- and nanotechnologies, but also to promote synergies between their different sub-areas and sub-disciplines and solutions between various areas of application and industrial sectors.
CTI sponsors projects in applied research and development (aR&D) between universities and industry. Promotion follows the bottom-up principle: the project partners define their projects themselves. The CTI also supports longer term projects with above average implementation risks, but which hold the prospect of large scale market potential.
Project proposals from the following knowledge areas are assessed swiftly and competently:
- Energy Components and Systems: Photovoltaics, Solar Heat, Fuel Cells Technology, Wind Energy
- Energy Conversion and Energy Storage
- Energy Management: Power Electronics, Building Control Components, Energy Harvesting
- Optoelectronic/Photonic Components and Systems
- MEMS & MOEMS & BIOMEMS Components and Systems
- Electronic Components and Systems, Embedded Systems
- Sensors and actuators
- Materials, Surfaces and Interfacial Technologies
- Semiconductor - Fabrication, Assembly, Packaging
- Micro- und Nanosystems, Measurement Techniques
Realisation-orientated coaching and cost control is assured for approved projects.
