The project “Laser Nanoscale Manufacturing (LaserNaMi)” focuses on staff exchanging between the partners, especially between the partners of EU and China, on researching and developing new maskless laser nanoscale manufacturing technologies for low cost, simple and high speed manufacturing of nano structured surfaces and components including periodic structures (nano gratings, anti-counterfeiting security markers, nanoimprint templates, self-cleaning and antireflection surface nano-structures) and other arbitrary features.LaserNaMi has the following objectives : (1) To exchange ideas and technology concepts to further development on the new maskless laser nanoscale manufacturing technologies. (2) To complement fabrication and characterization technologies with other technologies of partners in the LaserNaMi consortium to produce nanostructures in thin-films. (3) To explore novel applications for the laser nanoscale manufacturing from the combination of the different backgrounds and disciplines of the partners of LaserNaMi. (4) To strengthen research partnerships through staff exchanges and networking activities between European research organisations and organisations from China. (5) To establish long-term research cooperation through the proposed coordinated joint programme of exchange of researchers for short periods during the project.LaserNaMi meets the objectives and requirements of the Marie Curie Action: International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES), and it will provide support to the consortium members to establish and reinforce long-term research cooperation in laser nanoscale manufacturing through a coordinated joint programme of exchange of researchers.
