Combining the strengths of Nano-Tera.ch and the Sino Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation (SSSTC) a joint call for proposals is now open. This call aims at creating grass root synergies to encourage Swiss-Chinese research collaborations within Nano-Tera.ch thematic areas.
Submission deadline is June 30th, 2011
Priority research areas are those covered by Nano-Tera.ch (see “Specific Goals of Nano-Tera.ch and figure 1 above), including and recommending, but not limiting to Wireless Sen-sor Networks and Internet of Things. These are recommended due to the identified objective of creating synergy in these fields with China.
Nano-Tera.ch program two major strategic axes:
- Research and development of advanced technologies, such as i) micro/nano-electronics, -electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) and -manufacturing proc-esses; ii) (bio)-sensors, actuators and their system-level integration; iii) information and communication sciences as well as systems and software engineering.
- Integration of these technologies into application fields, such as wearable systems (e.g., for monitoring of patients, sportsmen, and the elderly), ambient systems (e.g., for environmental intelligence, building monitoring and virtual world) and remote sys-tems (e.g., remote sensing).
