The potential impact of NOVA is far-reaching: by addressing scientific needs in the development of new bioactive coating technologies, NOVA will help to improve the health of citizens and enable safer working and living through the management of infection risks. This will in turn be reflected in economic and regulatory value.
Scientific Impact
New combinatorial antimicrobial coatings and methods for the analysis of coating as well as insights into the mode of action of coatings
Regulatory Impact
On the one hand, NOVA's coatings will meet the criteria of Safe and Sustainable by Design. On the other hand, new tools for validating coatings and innovative tests with potential for inclusion in future standards will be developed.
Economic Impact
Increased revenue and new product opportunities for the consortium. Partners will lead the way in an area where global needs are aligned. Innovative coatings will support the sectors affected by the health crisis in the short and long term.
Industrial Impact
NOVA will offer validated solutions to specific industrial problems including equipment for integrating coatings into the production chain and digital tools for simplified coating design and development.
Social Impact
Fewer hospitalisations due to infections caused by fomites and a reduction in hospital-acquired infections. Innovative coatings could be a better crisis management tool for future pandemics. NOVA is working to educate and test antimicrobial solutions to increase public confidence.
NOVA's path to impact
Work plan
NOVA's mission is to make every step of antimicrobial coating development easier by delivering expertise, high added value coatings and new testing methodologies. To accomplish this mission, we have created a work plan that is structured to efficiently achieve this goal. NOVA is divided into 8 work packages.
Work Package 2
