Through the approach described in this new Strategic Plan, the NNI will ensure that the United States derives growing economic benefits and improved quality of life for its citizens, and remains a global leader in nanotechnology R&D in the years to come. |
| New Dimensions for Manufacturing A UK Strategy for Nanotechnology | |
| Source: UK Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform – Publication date: June 2002 | |
 | Report of the UK Advisory Group on Nanotechnology Applications. This report offers to Government the considered views of a group of academic and industry experts on the steps that need to be taken if the UK is to build on its current investments in nanotechnology research and become a world class player in nanotechnology applications. It gives a realistic assessment of where we stand in relation to our major industrial competitors in realising the potential of this fundamenatally new approach to manufacturing. |
| Public Perceptions about Nanotechnology | |
| Source: Federal Institute for Risk Assessment – Publication date: January 2009 | |
 | The aim of the analysis of public perceptions of nanotechnology was to describe the impact factors for risk communication in the new risk area of nanotechnology. A basic qualitative-psychological study in conjunction with a representative population survey of the perceptions of nanotechnology aimed to provide insight into the factors which influence consumer perceptions, the dynamics of importance in the field of nanotechnology and the direction in which public opinion on nanotechnology can move. |
| The Convergence of the Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Engineering | |
| Source: MIT – Publication date: January 2011 | |
 | A new model for scientific research known as 'convergence' offers the potential for revolutionary advances in biomedicine and other areas of science, according to this white paper by 12 leading MIT researchers. The white paper says that one should capitalize on the trend of convergence - which involves the merger of life, physical and engineering sciences - to foster the innovation necessary to meet the growing demand for accessible, affordable health care. |
| The Economic Development of Nanotechnology | |
| Source: European Commission – Publication date: November 2006 | |
 | A focus of this report has been put on the analysis of Europe compared to its main competitors. |
| The FRAMINGNANO Governance Platform | |
| Source: FramingNano – Publication date: February 2010 | |
 | The FramingNano project was launched in May 2008 with the aim of creating proposals for a workable governance platform. The resulting FramingNano Governance Platform, as described in this report, has been proposed to the European Commission as a tool to support the responsible development of nanotechnologies at European level and beyond. |
| The future of nanotechnology. We need to talk. | |
| Source: Nanologue – Publication date: October 2006 | |
