Innovative Nanowire DEvicE Design (INDEED)

Contact: Professor Dagou ZeZe

Project Overview

The INDEED network is a €4 million Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions– Innovative Training Network (ITN) – project funded by the European Commission, under the H2020 program and coordinated by Durham University.

INDEED is a consortium of 11 Universities and 2 industrial companies, together with 13 associate industry partners across Europe.

The main scientific objective is to translate semiconductor nanowire (NW) technology concepts into market-ready products. As such, the scientific programme is directed towards customer-oriented R&D and exploits innovative industrial design techniques to ensure rapid translation of the basic technologies into commercial devices.

Embracing One Dimnesional SemiConductor NanoStructures (NANOEMBRACE)

Scientific Coordinator: Professor Dagou ZeZe

Project Overview

January 2013 - December 2016, funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)

The NanoEmbrace consortium assembles eight leading industrial partners and ten internationally renowned academic institutions in materials science, engineering, chemistry, condensed matter physics and nanoscale device fabrication. The key vision of NanoEmbrace is to gain superior control and understanding of one-dimensional nanostructures (1DNS) and to transfer 1DNS from the laboratory to industry.

The consortium members have all of the competences and capabilities, both experimental and theoretical, which are necessary for understanding the mechanisms that govern the growth of 1DNS.

We aim to provide the highest quality multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral training to our early stage researchers in nanoscience, creating the next generation of research and industry leaders.
