Associations (selection): NanoMat, a Supraregional Network for Nanotechnology Materials ( http://www.nanomat.de/english/) The partners of this network have a high scientific and technical capability. This is documented by the numerous prizes and scientific awards, such as a Nobel Prize, six Leibniz Awards and more than 60 other renowned scientific distinctions awarded by academic and scientific associations. In addition, the partners in NanoMat have registered more than 200 patents and 10 licenses and have over 60 current cooperation agreements with industry in the field of nanotechnology.

The Working group of the Centers of Competence of Nanotechnology in Germany - AGeNT-D (http://www.ag-nano.de/eindex.html )
-
Nine Nanotechnology Competence Centers in Germany have established the consortium AGeNT-D (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Nanotechnologie-Kompetenzzentren in Deutschland). The CCNanos are acting nationwide and are located in various regions of Germany. All together they cover the whole range of nanotechnology's research and application areas.
-
Almost all CCNanos arised from a call from the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in 1998, each with a special focus on different topics of nanotechnology. Thus clusters of highly cross-linked enterprises, research institutions and universities were formed in various spots in Germany in the recent years. Because of new funding models in the following years there was an increasing concentration on regional subjects of the competence centers. Therefore, several competence centers developed similar organization platforms and paid attention to societal issues. At this point the cross-linking of the competence centers started and resulted in the establishment of AGeNT. The management of decisive tasks could be concerted to increase the efficiency and to successfully reach joint goals.
-
The consortium is enabled by the financial support of the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). At the 1st February 2007 AGeNT-D started to work. It is open to new members according to its statutes.

Kompetenznetze Deutschland – Network for Innovation
(http://www.kompetenznetze.de/the-initiative)
-
The Initiative Networks of Competence Germany by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) brings together the most innovative and capable national networks of competence with technological orientation. These networks characteristically stand out for their high level of activity and cooperation. They share commonly formulated goals, are regionally anchored, and excel both in minimizing distance to markets and industry, and in their dynamics and flexibility.
