13. Concluding remarks Very low participation from Norway
Have we failed to inform about possibilities?
Too much nano?
Too little about multifunctional materials and processes
Not relevant for the Norwegian industry?
Too early for the Norwegian research community?
Low interaction between institutes and industry
NMP seminar,

14. Can we improve? Thank You !
Need closer cooperation between institutes and industries
National funding for participating institutes
Less costly for research institutes to participate
Less costly for industry (not paying institutes)
More resources in the Norwegian Research Council
Thank You !
