ENGINEERING COMPLEX SYSTEMS FOR HEALTH, SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Who we are

Nano-Tera is a Swiss federal program funding scientific projects. The total consolidated budget will reach CHF 120 millions, of which 50% is funded by Nano-Tera and 50% participants' own contributions.

Our mission

The Nano-Tera initiative aims to bring Switzerland to the forefront of a new technological revolution, using engineering and information technology to improve the health and security of humans and the environment in the 21st century.

Some of our goals are:

to detect in real time different health risks and conditions through body-integrated bio probing		to reveal security risks through smart buildings and environments, and to save energy through ambient sensing		to detect environmental hazards such as floods and avalanches from inaccessible positions on earth

How you can get involved

If you are from an academic institute, a private company in the field of nanotechnology, microsystems, biotechnology, adhoc networking, sensors and MEMS, environmental monitoring, learn from Nano-Tera's scientific coverage on this website and feel free to contact Nano-Tera for support on finding partners, forming a project consortium, and submitting a proposal.

3 types of projects can be proposed: RTD projects (Research Technology and Development) with large budget, multidisciplinary consortium and ambitious objectives, NTF (Nano-Tera Focused) small projects with a very focused objective and ED (Educational and Dissemination) projects.
