The Austrian NANO Initiative is a multi-annual funding programme for Nanoscale Sciences and Nanotechnologies (NANO for short) in Austria. It coordinates NANO measures on the national and regional levels and is supported by several Ministries, Federal provinces and Funding institutions, under the overall control of the BMVIT Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology. The programme is managed by FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft (Austrian Research Promotion Agency) on behalf of the BMVIT. The orientation and the structure of the Austrian NANO Initiative have been developed jointly with scientists, entrepreneurs and intermediaries.
