Most probably, in addition to human needs, the new innovations in micro sensing and acting devices, MEMS technologies and other related new concepts will accelerate the development of the new products envisioned. Our proposed transatlantic research program could serve to accelerate this development in a pre-competitive phase, as well as to lead to international standards and maintain the leadership of the participating parties.
We strongly urge the governmental level decision makers to act as quickly as possible in implementing this program. As early actions we propose as follows:
Implementation of the transatlantic research network
