The European Union CORONA project brings together a multidisiplinary team dedicated to “Customer-Oriented Product Engineering of Micro and Nano Devices” according to the project’s home page. The Oct. 15, 2012 news item on Nanowerk fills in a few details,

An EU-funded project to improve and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in micro and nano devices has resulted in the successful development of a customer-oriented engineering methodology that will ultimately benefit a wide range of European industries that depend on these technologies.

Micro and nano devices are used by many industries in the manufacture of their products, including the automotive, consumer products, and medical applications sectors. Boosting competitiveness in micro and nano devices, improving quality and providing new functions will therefore add value right along the European manufacturing chain.

The project – CORONA – brought together designers, manufacturers, tool providers, research institutes and end-users to tackle the technological challenges faced by the industry. Their overall goal was to reduce development times, crucial for competitiveness in this field since success relies very much on fast time-to-market.

I have looked at the CORONA website and was not able to get details about ongoing or completed engineering projects. There have been some workshops although the most recent on the website was in May 2011.
