Nanofutures WG Meeting 20th of January in Brussels

NANOfutures invites stakeholders to join Working Groups.

The huge amount of information and the complex environment around nanotechnology translate into a clear lack of broad view defining the
key nodes of strategic nano activities, including the needs of society, policy and environmental issues. In order to support European industries to successfully profit from nanotechnologies, there is a need for converging approaches, for clear market drivers and for clear orientations to bring benefit to the community. NANOfutures Working Groups (WGs) strive to address these and will meet 20th of January in Bruessels
“Le Peuble-Casa de Asturias” building Rue Saint - Laurent, 36 - 38, 1000 Bruxelles.

NANOfutures WGs will identify the key nodes in strategic nano-activities and develop strategies to address nano-technology challenges with an inter-sectoral approach. This will be achieved by a close interaction between horizontal working groups, which will address cross-sectoral horizontal issues, and sectoral group representatives (i.e. ETP representatives).

NANOfutures WGs are: Safety Research; Industrial Safety Strategy; Standardization; Technology Transfer & Innovation Financing; Regulation; Industrialization & nano-Manufacturing; Skills and Education; Networking; Communication and Research & Technology. The objective of the horizontal working groups is to present recommendations for strategic actions under each of these main topics. We invite you to join these groups please see list of topics and all contact data of WG chairs at http://www.nanofutures.eu and contact Margherita Cioffi, E-mail contact: margherita.cioffi@dappolonia.it
