2 Nanotechnologies and cultural heritage: From research to public private aggregation. Patrizia Livreri, PhD, Professor, Polytechnic School, University of Palermo, Associate Professor, CNR Europe Commission Consultant for the Sicilian Regional Assembly Coordinator and Scientific Director of the Master: Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials for Cultural Heritage Scientific Responsible of the Laboratory: Nanotechnology and nanomaterials for Cultural Heritage September 23rd, 2015

3 In 1945 the founder of the National Science Foundation Vannevar Bush foresaw that the unbounded frontier of science would have been the premise of the economic development in future decades.

4 The new scenario is that of an economic miracle led by scientific research and technology. The innovative production chain starts from the research carried out in university laboratories, where products, services and know how are developed and launched into the global market, creating new values and competitiveness applying entrepreneurial efforts, based on start ups and spin offs and, above all, on public private aggregations.

5 In order to achieve this goal and intervene on the research innovation chain we have bet in some scientific and technological areas where our University is at an1advantage. Specialization is risky but necessary, even in the high tech world. September 23rd, 2015

areas where our University is at an1advantage.

7 Since 2005, we have mainly focused on nanotechnology applied to cultural heritage. At first, by creating the Public Laboratory of nanotechnology and nanomaterials for Cultural Heritage, BCNANOLAB, funded for ,00 by the Ministry of the Economic Development, with resolution no. 17 of 2003 CIPE, RS 19 project, Micro and Nano systems district.
