The first Nanoscience Repositoryof molecular data for functional and complex materials and protocols for synthesis and metrology of nanostructured systems so as to make the results of nanoscience centers more directly suitable for specific applications developed by technology districts as well as for next generation products manufactured by industries and SMEs. Full exploitation of emerging e-infrastructures to achieve high impact and capillarity in making nanoscience outcome promptly available to society. Maximum exploitation of Large Scale Facilities (LSFs) by nano-oriented scientific communities by providing a strategic access for Fine Analysis to a wider community of users and (raising the standards in sample preparation, definition and characterization for the most advanced fine analysis tools including nanobeams and ultra short pulses of X-ray and UV as well as neutron pulses. SYNCHROTRON BIO NEUTRONS MATERIALS DATA REPOSITORY FEL COMMON METROLOGY, PROTOCOLS & STANDARDS SPECIFIC TOOLS OR SHARING LABS ACTIVITY CONNECTED TO LOCAL SCIENTIFIC ENVIRONMENT ICT A common metrology and a widespread technological platform for advanced nanofabrication, synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, available to all scientific and technological communities so as to provide a push forward in the challenge of atomic precision manufacturing and shift the scientific competition towards ideas and intellectual skills rather than among different technological and financial capabilities of research groups around Europe.
