About us

The Industrial Technologies Programme (NMP-RFCS) is managed by the Industrial Technologies Directorate (Directorate G) of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research.
The NMP programme is part of the Cooperation Specific Programme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

The three units specifically involved in the content of projects are called:

• New forms of production
• Materials
• Nano Sciences and nano technologies

These units cooperate with the Administration and finance unit, which coordinates the legal and financial aspects of projects.
They also work with the Horizontal Aspects Unit , which coordinates other issues related to programme implementation.

The Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) is also part of the Industrial Technologies Programme : it is managed by the RFCS Unit.
