Overall objective : To improve the competitiveness of EU industry and ensure its transformation via:

• the effective transition from a resource-based to knowledge-based industry

• generation of new breakthrough knowledge• strengthening EU leadership in nano, materials and

production technologies • emphasis on integrating different technologies and

disciplines across many industrial sectors … strong continuity with FP6

Importance of Technology Platforms to help establish common research priorities
