The Phantoms Foundation was established on November 26, 2002 (in Madrid, Spain) in order to provide high level Management profile to scientific projects such as PHANTOMS (contract IST 2000-26021 FP5), NAPA (Emerging Nanopatterning Methods FP6 Integrated Project) or NanoSpain (Spanish Nanotechnology Network).
The PHANTOMS Foundation is also currently working in close collaboration with the Spanish Foundation for Science & Technology to provide focused reports on Spanish activities in Nanotechnology (current research, infrastructure needs, etc.).
The Foundation is also involved in the organisation of high-level conferences related with Nanotechnology and Nanoscience aspects such as the 6th International Conference Trends in Nanotechnology (TNT2005) (Oviedo, Spain).
The founders of this non-profit Association are Dr. Antonio Correia and Prof. Clivia Sotomayor Torres.
