Coordination Action, the Pilot Consortium has undertaken a comprehensive collection of information concerning graphene research activities and funding in Europe in order to map existing efforts and prepare the financial plan for the full Flagship proposal. This report provides the current status and planned activities as of October 2011. In order to obtain information across Europe, data was collected through different sources, namely: - Graphene Flagship web portal open for registration to research groups - Funding agencies addressed through a dedicated survey - Web search of online project databases - European Commission portal CORDIS The general approach used was to include in the statistics funding corresponding to individual grants, research projects, programmes, networks and centres of excellence. Permanent salaries, funding of research infrastructures and other in-kind contributions from organisations were not included since this information is not readily available and is difficult to estimate accurately. The main focus is therefore on the level of national public funding for graphene-related research projects in EU member states and several associated countries. Europe is already investing significant resources in graphene research and technology, a large part of which via national bodies. The estimated total amount is about 150 M€ spread over several years. Additional 68 M€ have been announced recently and will contribute to the overall funding in the forthcoming years. Taking into account the duration and budgets of the projects, the corresponding national funding for 2011 is of the order of 45 M€/year. The number of graphene-related projects funded by the European Commission is rapidly increasing and activities are supported through the “People”, “Ideas” and “Cooperation” programmes. A significant part is invested in people and training through Marie Curie Actions and ERC grants which represent a strong basis for future excellence in the field. It will be fundamental, in next years, to ensure that this investment in human resources has a beneficial impact on European competitiveness, avoiding “brain drain” of highly skilled researchers. Collaborative Research is mainly supported within the NMP and ICT programmes with an estimated total amount of 37 M€, corresponding to 9 M€/year in 2011. The analysis of scientific publications shows that Europe is leading with a 36% share of publications worldwide. The situation is however reversed when the number of patents is considered and Europe with its 12% of the total patent share falls behind Asia (45%) and the United States (40%). The current data and trends observed, namely the level of national funding

Cunningham1 and Claudia Werker2 1 Policy Analysis Section, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of Technology, Jaffalaan 5, Delft 2600 GA, The Netherlands 2Section Economics of Innovation, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of Technology, Jaffalaan 5, Delft 2600 GA, The Netherlands, and RWTH Aachen University, Department of Geography, Chair of Economic Geography. [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Geographical concentration of economic activities has been widely discussed. However, the insights into other kinds of concentration such as technological and organizational concentration have been scarce. Here, we analyze organizational, technological and geographical concentration of nanotechnology activities in the Netherlands. We discuss our results in the light of the Dutch strategy to concentrate nanotechnology research organizationally, technologically and geographically during the last decade. Currently, this strategy is successful but will only be so if it remains open to changes in the technology itself and its environment. Keywords. concentration, collaborations, nanotechnology, The Netherlands 1 Introduction For decades nanotechnology has been infiltrating and encompassing industries, technologies and regions in the Netherlands and all over the world (Robinson et al., 2007, CEC, 2009a and b, Islam and Miyazaki, 2009, Salerno et al., 2008, as well as Meyer, 2007). Dutch nanotechnology is interesting in two respects: One, Dutch nanotechnology seems to be quite successful. Two, Dutch policy for nanotechnology is exceptional in the European context. The Dutch success can be measured when comparing investments and output.

  • Radboud University Nijmegen 2013 Research Report
    2013 Radboud University Nijmegen 2013 Research Report The cover photograph represents a ‘magical’ text that is part of HS 194, a late medieval English manuscript in the collection of the Nijmegen University Library. The first lines of this manuscript state that the charm was written by “our Lord’s fingers” and found by Joseph of Barmaphe – a misinterpretation of the Latin ‘Ioseph ab Arimathea’ – when he took Christ down from the cross. It goes on to offer protection against all kinds of dangers to anyone wearing this charm on their body. The charm itself consists of Latin formulas and a list of divine names. Within this manuscript there are also a number of vernacular texts that are not found in any other manuscript in the world, as well as more charms and some religious texts. Dr Sandor Chardonnens (Assistant Professor of English Language and Culture) and Rosanne Hebing, MA (Assistant Professor of Old and Middle English) have recently published on the manuscript – and on this particular charm. The entire 15th century English manuscript (HS 194;125x85 mm), which is entitled Liber precum, is available online at: http://wwwextern.ubn.ru.nl/BookReader/ MMUBN000008_Hs%20194/#page/8/ mode/2up Editors Chris Mollema: Strategy & Development Photo editing Communication Office Translation & Text consultancy Michael Gould Associates BV, Arnhem Graphic design gloedcommunicatie, Nijmegen Print Van Eck & Oosterink Photography Bert Beelen Dick van Aalst Edgar Wills Erik van ’t Hullenaar Gerard Verschooten Mark Dingemanse Hollandse Hoogte - Bert Spiertz - Presse Sports VVB foto (p. 58) Wellcome Library, London (portrait; p. 20) ETH-Bibliothek Zürich/www.e-rara-ch (title page; p.

In addition, there are several associated groups and individual researchers. Its main objectives are to implement a joint programme of graduate ed- ucation and to maintain and strengthen research in theoretical physics. On 31 December 2008, 80 PhD students were affiliated to the DRSTP, as well as 49 tenured and 44 non-tenured staff (postdocs). The research output led to 15 PhD dissertations and 333 academic publications. This annual report 2008 provides an overview of the educational and research activ- ities during 2008. The report also presents two research highlights written by staff members of the Research School. In addition, it offers information, such as a list of the participating staff, of the PhD students, a comprehensive list of publications, as well as other relevant statistics. The annual report is not the only information that we make available throughout the year.

  • Research Report 2016
    Research Report 2016 Cover photo: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive research method for use with partly reflective materials with which images (cross-sections) can be constructed. The method is comparable with echography, but based on light instead of sound. OCT is often used in ophthalmology to study the retina of an eye. The resolution is as small as 10 µm; hence tiny details can be made visible. The picture shows an OCT scan (cross-section) of a healthy retina showing – in the middle – the macula: the part which enables an eye to see small details. Professor Anneke den Hollander (Molecular Ophthalmology) is an expert in age-related macular degeneration. She has identified most of the genetic causes of congenital blindness. A major achievement in her recent work was identifying defects in the complement system in age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly.
