The eMobility Platform

• eMobility is an EU Technology Platform which aims
  at reinforcing Europe's leadership in mobile and
  wireless communications and services, which have
  created unprecedented possibilities for people to
  communicate and have become a key driver of
  economic growth. eMobility shall master the
  future development of this technology, so that it
  best serves Europe's citizens and the European
  economy.

European Technology Platform NANOMEDICINE

• Nanomedicine exploits the improved and often
  novel physical, chemical and biological
  properties of materials at the nanometer scale.
  Nanomedicine has the potential to enable early
  detection and prevention, and to essentially
  improve diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of
  diseases.

European Technology Platform NANOMEDICINE

• Seamlessly connecting Diagnostics,and Targeted
  Delivery and Regenerative Medicine
• Diagnostics, targeted delivery and regenerative
  medicine constitute the core disciplines of
  nanomedicine. The European Technology Platform on
  NanoMedicine acknowledges and wishes to actively
  support research at the interface between its
  three science areas. It is committed to
  supporting such activities as theranostics, where
  nanotechnology will enable diagnostic devices and
  therapeutics to be combined for a real benefit to
  patients.

The European Space Technology Platform (ESTP)

• One of the objectives of the ESTP is-
• To enhance and cross-fertilise technology
  (promote multiple-use and spin-in) by
• Developing synergies between the ESTP and other
  related non-space Technology Platforms (eg. in
  the areas of photovoltaics, fuel-Cells,
  materials, nanotechnologies and nano-systems,
  telecommunications, etc)
• Promoting join upstream research on technologies
  of dual-use (civil and security/defence)
