The aim of the project is to support the cooperation of educational and research institutions Hradecko-pardubické agglomeration with representatives of the application sphere. We want to offer them professional and infrastructure background for development, production and innovation in the field of nanotechnology. A team of experts in complementary scientific fields will be set up and a modern infrastructure will be built for: 1) development and characterisation of new nanomaterials (NM), 2) their surface modification, 3) testing the impact of newly developed NM on the organism. a.
