About the programme
There were difficulties in commercialising the nanotechnology projects because of the early stage of nanotechnology. The scalability of production and persistency of R&D also hindered the success of the project. The goal of the FinNano programme of the was to strengthen Finnish nanotechnology research and create common guidelines for the development of nanotechnology and its commercial applications.
Impact of the project:
During FinNano, the number of companies active in the Finnish nanotechnology sector increased to 202 (from 61 in 2004). The programme included over 100 research and industrial technology development projects with a high-level of international cooperation.

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse was responsible for the overall coordination of the programme. Spinverse facilitated vision and strategy work, built multidisciplinary and cross-industrial research collaboration, coordinated the project management and activated international cooperation for example with China and Japan.
About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
