Formulated products are everywhere. They are the corner stone and most important value-adding step for many industrial sectors. Despite this, application-oriented research and innovation in formulation technologies has traditionally not been addressed in funding programmes, neither on a European nor on a national level.

The workshop aims at contributing to the development of a clear research and innovation agenda for the upcoming EU Framework Programme, but will also serve for positioning in national programmes and for networking with Swedish actors in the formulation area. The workshop will be part of a series of workshops organised in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and France and takes place within the context of AceForm4.0 (www.formulation-network.eu). This is a Coordination and Support Action funded by the EU Commission, set up to establish and support collaborations across different formulation industries and throughout the value chain.
