In W&W’s opinion, the development of tools both for characterisation and production<br />
should be one of the major research topics. Thus, R&D results would have an impact<br />
in many of the process now being further developed. Because these tools would both<br />
be used for research and commercial purposes, the pay-off return could be short<br />
enough to facilitate the involvement of high-tech SMEs.<br />
Finally, there’s the need for a better alignment of research and industrial (or societal)<br />
interest. Research into solutions for environmental impact of some thin film related<br />
technologies (most notably sol-gel technologies) must be done, if these technologies<br />
are to find large-scale applications in a sustainable way.<br />
Regarding medium-tech industry sectors, there’s the need to communicate thin film<br />
potential as compared to existing possibilities and indicating development timelines.<br />
Communication should be targeted at both R&D and managing people.<br />
