​​​You can submit your proposal through the RIANA User Portal. You don't have a complete proposal you may submit a pre-proposal with your research idea, and the RIANA scientific network will provide you with personalised support, from proposal writing to data analysis, aimed at advancing both scientific research and industrial applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The pre-proposal should be submitted through the Riana Pre-Proposal Portal.

Eligibility criteria

Proposals that are supported by RIANA need to address a topic in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. This criterion is checked by the Chairs of the Proposal Review Panel as follows:

RIANA refers to “nanoobjects” whenever the structures of an object that determine its key properties are smaller than 100 nm in at least one dimension. Consequently, “nanoscience” is the science of nanoobjects, and “nanotechnology” is the technology exploiting nanoobjects.

Please check the Access Guidelines.

Financial support

EU funding will be allocated to travel and subsistence support to user groups who fit the eligibility criteria. A maximum of two researchers per experiment/visit are entitled to up to a maximum of 600 EUR reimbursement each, based on a calculated reimbursement of:

• Up to 300 EUR per user for travel costs
• Up to 50 EUR per night and per user for accommodation up to a maximum of 6 nights.
