EUROpean network of transnational collaborative RTD projects in the field of NANOMEDicine www.euronanomed.net
What are the societal needs? - the challenge for Europe Improve public health and welfare • Ageing population • Efficiency of current medical solutions • Emergence of new disease and old diseases are back • Personalized medicine future directions www.euronanomed.net
The global challenge • Therapeutic solutions for only 1/3 known diseases (WHO) • Infections: HIV, TB, malaria, risk of pandemia • Need to increase capability and innovation of medical industry • Rapid and accurate diagnosis for early detection, even prevention • Novel, more efficient therapies with less side effects www.euronanomed.net

Each national programme supports their national partners within the selected projects www.euronanomed.net
EuroNanoMed covers 3/4 of European nanomedicine actors • 24 partners from 18 countries/regions • Coordination of funding programmes in nanomedicine • Started January 2009 • EU funding for coordination (ERA-net in FP7) 2 common joint calls for proposals 2009, 2010 www.euronanomed.net
EuroNanoMed: an asset to bridge the gap 2 calls to support RTD projects aiming at • solving an unmet medical need using nanomedicine • promoting a multidisciplinary translational approach with an international focus EuroNanoMed will achieve a critical mass of actors !!! www.euronanomed.net
EuroNanoMed outputs • Develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for the patient, enhancing the competitiveness of the European health industry • Maturation of the field To bring together • academic teams • clinical/public health teams • industrial research teams • Cross-border collaboration between the best researchers/teams in nanomedicine www.euronanomed.net
Why now? What’s the urgency? • Health industry: a key for future growth • European countries invest substantially in nano industry and basic nano research • Nano technologies: a promising field for innovation and patient application Despite these efforts, Europe is lagging behind the US in an increasing competition : Europe needs to act now! www.euronanomed.net
Expected outcome • To move innovation from knowledge to industrial technology and health care applications • Opening the national programmes to support transnational RTD partnerships Long term vision: formula for an European-wide integrated programme with a coordinated funding www.euronanomed.net
