2. What is LLN?
 Open innovation platform to facilitate the
exchange of knowledge, expertise and facilities
and accelerate the development of applications in
the field of Nanomedicines
 EFRD grant to kick start and demonstrate the
added-value
 Started in October 2017

3. Core partners & Project Details
 Goal: provide SMEs easy and flexible access to
knowledge and infrastructure for nanomedicine
development, -delivery and –production
 Initiated by:

5. (1) Assessment of partner’s needs
■ Easy access to partners
■ Access to specific infrastructure and (clinical) expertise
■ Overview of regionally accessible facilities & expertise

collaboration
However… there is room for CRO-activities

7. (3) Organisationmodel LLN
RRFRTCs
RTC: Radboud Technology Centers (Radboudumc)
RRF: Radboud Research Facilities (RU)
 In order to connect supply and demand
 Embedding in existing initiatives
 Front-end organisation vs. actual collaboration
Nanomedicine-
related facilities

8. ■ Integration with existing initiatives
■ Create overall menu of available facilities
■ Expand the network of partners
■ Improve (online) visibility of existing initiatives including LLN
 Requires application-oriented descriptions instead of technology-push
Follow-up activities
