Networks
Within the ETAP action "Getting from research to markets" high priority is given to the establishment of technology platforms and networks, the latter aimed at technology testing, performance verification and standardization. Technology platforms are still at an early stage of development, only a few having been established during 2004; they will work to create a common vision for the development of specific technologies such as hydrogen and fuel cells, nanotechnologies, plant genomics and biotechnology, photovoltaics, water supply and sanitation. This folder contains also existing world wide networks concerned with environmental technologies.
