The nanoICT plan to strengthen scientific and technological excellence will go beyond the organisation of conferences, workshops, exchange of personnel, WEB site, etc. developing the following activities:

1. Consolidation and visibility of the research community in ICT nanoscale devices

2. Mapping and benchmarking of research at European level, and its comparison with other continents

3. Identification of drivers and measures to assess research in ICT nanoscale devices, and to assess the potential of results to be taken up in industrial research

4. Coordination of research agendas and development of research roadmaps

5. The coordination of national or regional research programmes or activities, with the aim to involve funding authorities in building the ERA around this topic
