ENEX – Expert in Nanotechnology Exploitation
Nanotechnology is one of the scientific fields that is rapidly growing and has found usage in various branches of industry. A lot of professionals with different vocational qualifications work for numerous nanotechnology companies, universities teach and train specialists in nanotechnology worldwide. But not all the employees of nanotechnology companies have a competent knowledge of nanotechnology (esp. those in marketing, HR or finance departments). On the other hand, personnel in R&D and production departments are competent in nanotechnology, but do not have sufficient expertise in the marketing and commercialization of research outputs as well as in innovation management. This is the reason why we have designed an e-learning course ENEX – Expert in Nanotechnology Exploitation as an ‘interface’ between laboratories and researchers developing nanotechnologies and the industry and health sector using them. The project was co-funded by the ERASMUS+ program of the EU and was successfully implemented in 2014-2017 offering knowledge in technology as well as competences in marketing and innovation management to its participants.
The ENEX project was awarded as a good practice example in project management.
The e-learning course comprises 2 modules: Nanotechnology and Innovation Management. Each module concludes with a final examination.
The ENEX course was developed in close cooperation with experts from five European countries led by INTAMT Group.
- INTAMT Group (Germany)
- ASEV Agenzia per lo Sviluppo Empolese Valdelsa Spa (Italy)
- “Nello Carrara” Institute of Applied Physics (IFAC) (Italy)
- University of Łódź (Poland)
- Polytechnic University of Bucharest (Romania)
- Mesa+ Institute/ University of Twente (the Netherlands)
