BisNano seeks to incorporate new industrial partners for research and demonstration activities to explore possible applications of bismuth and bismuth based compounds when they are synthesized at the nanometric scale in terms of nanoparticles, thin films, nanoceramics and nanocomposites.

Demonstration activities should support the technical activities of BisNano by providing feedback about new functionalities.

Demonstration activities should include design of functional devices based on the properties previously determined in order to test their viability and identify the potential market for end users.

Experiments should also support the project dissemination activities by providing with suggestions for industrial user applications.

The future partner(s) will become member(s) of the consortium and therefore obtain the normal responsibilities of effort reporting, project reviews and so on. The new partners will have to sign a Consortium Agreement.

The rules of participation and funding for each partner are the same as for any FP7 project.

We plan to have one, or maximum two industrial participants.
