ERA-MANUNET II

Transnational Cooperation

MANUNET II

Supporting SMEs towards a new phase to European Research Area on new processes, adaptive manufacturing systems and the factory of the future

FCT is a member of MANUNET II, since 2011, an ERA-NET dedicated at fostering the competitiveness of Europe’s Manufacturing Industry. MANUNET II is a network with 17 partners from 12 countries. With a duration of 4 years, the goal is to support the funding of manufacturing research projects performed by enterprises (preferably SMEs), universities and research centers that will contribute:

  • To constitute a consortium with a wider coverage around Europe;
  • To improve cooperation and coordination among MANUNET II and national and regional programmes;
  • To improve cooperation and coordination among MANUNET II and the other initiatives at European level, such as the Nanoscience, Nanotechnologies, Materials and New production Technologies (NMP) calls, the "Factory of the Future" initiative and the other manufacturing related ERA-NETs;
  • To propose effective solutions for an integrated and sustainable European manufacturing programme based on national and regional funds and able to effectively complement the other European RTD support tools;
  • To carry out joint calls for proposals with a high cooperation among regions/countries, more funding by countries/regions and higher R&D investment mobilized.
