ALL-MICRO
Policy objective: PO1 - A more competitive and smarter Europe by promoting innovative and smart economic transformation and regional ICT connectivity
Specific objective: SO1 - Developing and enhancing research and innovation capacities and the uptake of advanced technologies
Typology: Standard project
The ALL-MICRO project creates a cross-border network centred on high-level optical and electron microscopy topics between academic and research players and technology hubs.
- The aim is to disseminate knowledge on the potential of optical and electron microscopy as a tool for the technological advancement and innovation of companies and public bodies and for increasing the competitiveness of all businesses in the macro-region. The targets of this project are small, medium and large companies operating in the macro-region territory, hospitals and medical centres, research centres and academic institutions and business support organisations.
- The aim of this project is to bridge the gap between academia and basic research on the one hand, and industry and services on the other, creating a bridge that allows the skills and instrumentation present in the macro-region to be fully exploited for the benefit of all productive activities.
- environmental sustainability - avoiding duplication of costly and environmentally high-impact instrumentation.
- construction of the project management infrastructure, through the appointment of a management group and a board of experts involving all partners
- answer to concrete questions posed by the targets and provide an opportunity for direct knowledge of the potential offered by advanced microscopy techniques
ALL-MICRO will establish a stable cross-border network among partners equipped with advanced microscopy facilities and technology hubs, aimed at sharing expertise, resources, and developing common access and usage protocols. The network will be supported by an expert board and a dedicated information portal that will promote pilot projects and training opportunities. Expected outcomes include at least 10 pilot projects, 2 international promotional events, 3 cross-training courses for internal staff, 2 advanced schools for students, and on-demand courses for technical personnel. Additionally, 3 Memoranda of Understanding will be developed to ensure the sustainability of collaboration beyond the duration of the project.
