The project will last for two years. The management team is represented by a consortium of nine partners from across Europe and the former Soviet Union. As a part of NANOMAT-EPC, four bilateral projects investigating new nanomaterial based technologies will be carried out:
- Development of high conductivity zirconia anodes for solid oxide fuel cells involving University of Birmingham and Frantsevich Institute of Problems of Material Science
- Development of hybrid carbon nanotube electrodes for supercapacitors involving Cleancarb and Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics
- Development of nanoparticles with self-regulating magnetic hyperthermia properties for oncology treatment involving Laser Zentrum Hannover and Institute for Physical Research of NAS of Armenia
- Development of rare-earth metal based nanosensory devices for environmental monitoring involving Université Paris-Sud and Georgian Technical University
During the project, brokerage and workshop events will be organised in Tbilisi, Minsk and Kyiv to support knowledge and technology transfer in nano- and materials technologies.
Besides writing the successful NANOMAT-EPC proposal, Intelligentsia Consultants are coordinator of the project.
Within 3-5 years, the project partners hope the results of the NANOMAT-EPC bilateral projects will have led to several new commercial products.
