H2020 - FET Open / FET Innovation Launchpad grant:
Project acronym: MolShuttle
Parent project: 2D INk
Project title: Versatile Platform for Handling Nanographenes
(Project ID: 946223. H2020-FETOPEN-2018-2019-2020-03 / https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/946223)
This project has received funding
from the European Unions’ Horizon2020
Research and innovation programme
under grant Agreement [946223].
Scope:
Novel deposition technology for organic molecules opens doors for nanoelectronics:
In this project technical improvement and extension of the ES-CIBD platform is pursued to widen the application to additional chemical species such as nanographenes and to enable access to further analytical tools. The planned activities cover the development of a portable preparation port and the optimization of spray and vacuum components. Nanographenes (carbon nanotubes, graphen-based nanoribbons and other structures) play an increasing role in the design of sophisticated highly-functional ultrathin nanoelectronics and optics. The “MolShuttle” project was inspired by knowledge gained in the parent program 2D-INK FET aiming to formulate semiconductive inks.

ERC PoC grant:
Project acronym "Softbeam"
Project title: Modular Platform for Controlled Ion Beam Generation.
(Project ID: 780907. https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/211984_en.html)
This project has received funding
from the European Unions’ ERC programme
under grant Agreement [780907].
Scope:
Development of a versatile platform for deposition of fragile (bio)organic molecules on solid supports at UHV conditions. Such molecules are used as building blocks for nanofabrication and nanotechnology.The project is a follow-on program to the ERC Advanced Grant “MolArt”
