NECTAR for the future: new trends and exploitation of results
Scarce information and lack of communication or dissemination represent, beyond any doubts, a bottleneck for the advancement of knowledge. This is valid not only within a well-defined community of scientists such as that of a COST action. In science in general it often happens that research is performed ignoring the fact that a method, technology, or result obtained in a specific context can be extremely relevant also from the perspective of other scientific areas. Furthermore, intersectoral research projects and training schemes need to be established in the future. At least at European level NECTAR aims to promote the communication between all subjects (from academia to stakeholders) favouring, in turn, the implementation of intersectoral collaborations. In the long term we believe that this will address societal and economical needs.
