EU observatory to guide policymakers on nanotechnologies

An EU project to establish a European Observatory on Nanotechnologies is seeking to address the lack of objective and independent information on nanotech for policymakers, industry and investors. The ObservatoryNANOexternal project was launched as a first step on the way to establishing a permanent European Observatory on Nanotechnologies. Once established, it would provide "ongoing, independent support to decision-makers," according to the consortium. Launched in April 2008, the project will be funded for four years from the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7) and has a total budget of %u20AC4 million. The project consortium, led by the UK Institute of Nanotechnology (IoNexternal ), brings together partners from different fields of application of nanotech.

Gap between domestic and cross-border e-commerce grows wider, says EU report

EU Consumer Commissioner Meglena Kuneva today announced the results of a new EU wide survey on e-commerce and cross border trade. The figures show that even though e-commerce is taking off at national level, cross-border e-commerce is failing to keep pace. From 2006 to 2008, the share of all EU consumers that have bought at least one item over the internet has increased significantly (from 27% to 33%) whilst cross border e-commerce is stable (6% to 7%). The pattern is similar for those with internet access at home - 56% of consumers with internet at home have made a purchase (in any country including their own) by e-commerce compared to 50% in 2006, while only 13% (of those with internet access at home) made a cross-border e-commerce purchase compared to 12% in 2006.

EB: Photoshop plug-in accelerates car HMI development

EB presents a new Adobe Photoshop plug-in for EB GUIDE Studio that enables direct access to designs from Photoshop. With the Photoshop plug-in, you can now import graphics into EB GUIDE Studio for further editing. This saves time for both designers and developers and thus accelerates the development of human machine interfaces. The data transfer process takes place in two steps: The script first exports layer and graphical material from Photoshop which is then stored temporarily in an XML file. From the XML file, the EB GUIDE Studio plug-in then generates graphical control elements, which the user can utilise as buttons, sliders, animated widgets or full views in EB GUIDE Studio.
