Impacts on EU
• Economic– >500 SMEs in nanomedicine in Europe– Nearly 250 “nano”-products are used or
tested in humans
• Societal– Diagnostics tools and better healtcare treatments
for • a more targeted and more personalised medicine • with less side-effects • for a more cost-effective healthcare
• ETPN Impact on H2020• White paper• SRIA
