The nanoSTAIR process can be seen as a turbine that accelerates the preparation of new work item proposals by identifying the potential candidates, by making explicit the needs from the main stakeholders and by pooling the resources and expertise to reach the necessary critical mass.
Description: Coordination action to support standardization in the field of nano.
The overall objective of NanoSTAIR is to build a European Platform to support the transfer of knowledge and results gained through research to standard documents using the STAIR approach.
As a result, nanoSTAIR will provide a set of procedures, a tool box and a practical guideline that will be useful to bridge the gap between research and standardization in nanotechnologies. nanoSTAIR will structure and ease the development of new documentary standards, and thus enable the European nanotechnology related industry to rapidly operate according to the state of the art and thus increase its competitiveness
R-Tech Specific Role: in WP4:
R-Tech will provide the expertise and resource to set-up and operate the project website. In addition, a specific tool that enables to cluster experts and their expertise will be developed. This tool will be implemented in relation with the task 4.2 dealing with the identification of experts and topics that can be pooled together to launch new standardization work items.
