NMP in Horizon 2020

NMP in LEIT - Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies NMP+B Micro- and Nano-electronics Nanotechnologies Advanced Materials Advanced Manufacturing and Processing Biotechnology Photonics NMP+B - 4 out of 6 Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) Translation along the value chains Focus on demonstration / pilot activities NMP - rather a horizontal topic Understanding the scope of opportunities for funding across Horizon 2020 – key to success for individual stakeholders

Technology Readiness Levels Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs)* - tool for assessment of the industrial potential of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) TRL1 – basic principles observed TRL2 – technology concept formulated TRL3 – experimental proof of concept TRL4 – technology validated in lab TRL5 – technology validated in relevant environment (industrial environment in case of KET´s) TRL6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment TRL7 – system prototype demonstration in operational environment TRL8 – system complete and qualified TRL9 – competitive manufacturing *
