The main objective of NanoSci-ERA is to promote the collaboration and integration of the national research communities in nanoscience throughout the ERA (European Research Area), and thus overcome the fragmentation of nanoscience research along national or regional lines. This focus is seen as fundamental for long-term research, for developing nanoscience as a knowledge-generating activity without topical restrictions, for allowing the emergence of strong bottom-up (community driven) thematic programmes. The interdisciplinary character of nanoscience, including physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, gives an additional dimension and challenge to NanoSci-ERA, in bringing these communities together on a European scale.
