The European Industrial Research magazine provides information and research results in the field of
Industrial Technologies – a key element in the EU Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) for research and
technological development. Priority 3 focuses on nanotechnologies and nanosciences, knowledge-based
multifunctional materials, new production processes and devices. It promotes the transition to a know-
ledge-based society in Europe.
Visit the Industrial Technologies website at:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/industrial_technologies/index_en.html
for more extensive coverage of the issues discussed in this magazine and to discover many more
themes and articles on Commission-funded industrial research, updated on a regular basis.
