The document discusses the NanoFabNet Hub, which aims to create a sustainable international collaboration platform for nanofabrication. The Hub will provide a registered secretariat and be a one-stop-shop for matters related to sustainable nanofabrication. It will bring together governmental laboratories, academics, large industries, and SMEs. The document also summarizes workshops that were held to discuss concepts of sustainable nanofabrication and mapping areas of research at the intersection of nanotechnology and sustainability.

Central Objective
• Create a strong international hub for
sustainable nanofabrication, whose structure,
business model, detailed strategies and action plans
are designed, agreed and carried by its international
stakeholders during the Project duration, in order to
yield a self-sustaining collaboration platform: the
NanoFabNet Hub.
• A registered NanoFabNet Secretariat at the Hub’s
centre will provide an accountable, economically
sustainable executive.
• The hub aims to be a one-stop-shop for all matters and concerns
pertaining to sustainable nanofabrication and its successful
incorporation into the complex, large-scale high-value industries by
bringing together governmental and academic laboratories with large
industries and SMEs.

… what is it and where can it be found?
It can be found at the overlap of cloud-like concept clusters (within the map of science & technology).
‘Sustainable NanoFabrication’ is made up of concepts that apply to both sustainability and to nanofabrication; it is
regionally dependent in manifesting itself in the form of strategies, initiatives, certificates, policies (hard and/or
soft), etc. …
