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.
