Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology for Health - Strategic Research Agenda
Source: European Technology Platform NANOMEDICINE – Publication date: November 2006
	The European Technology Platform on NanoMedicine is an industry-led consortium, bringing together the key European stakeholders in the sector. In September 2005 it delivered a common vision of this technologically and structurally multi-faceted area, and defines the most important objectives in this Strategic Research Agenda.

Nanoparticles: An occupational hygiene review
Source: UK Health and Safety Commission – Publication date: 2004
	This review focuses on processes for the deliberate development and manufacture of nanoparticle products. It concludes that there is little evidence to suggest that the exposure of workers arising from the production of nanoparticles has been adequately assessed.

NanoRiskCat - A Conceptual Decision Support Tool for Nanomaterials
Source: Danish EPS – Publication date: December 2011
	In this project funded by the Danish EPA the Technical University of Denmark and National Research Centre for the Working Environment has initiated the development of a screening tool called NanoRiskCat (NRC) for the evaluation of exposure and hazard of nanomaterials contained in products for professional and private use. The aim was to identify, categorize and rank the possible exposure and hazards associated with a nanomaterial in a product. NanoRiskCat is using a stepwise approach based on existing data on the conventional form of the chemical as well as the data that may exist on the nanoform.

Nanoroadmap Synthesis Report
Source: Nanoraodmap Project (NRM) – Publication date: January 2006
	The aim of the Nanoroadmap (NRM) Project has been a long term (10 years - 2006-2015) forecasting exercise on the application of nanotechnology in the fields of material, health and medical systems, energy with the objective of preparing roadmaps that monitor progress and discuss tendencies which can allow the evaluation of opportunities and problems of nanotechnology in these sectors and act accordingly.

Nanosafety in Europe 2015-2025: Towards Safe and Sustainable Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Innovations
Source: Finnish Institute of Occupational Health – Publication date: June 2013
	The Finnish Insitute of Occupational Health, together with the members of the European Nanosafety Cluster, that is, over a hundred European nanosafety research experts, have produced a research strategy for the European Commission. The strategy outlines the focal points of nanomaterial safety research for the Commission's 8th framework programme (Horizon 2020).

Nanoscience and nanotechnologies: opportunities and uncertainties
Source: Royal Society – Publication date: July 2004
	A July 2004 report by the Royal Society in the UK. The report illustrates the fact that nanotechnologies offer many benefits both now and in the future but that public debate is needed about their development. It also highlights the immediate need for research to address uncertainties about the health and environmental effects of nanoparticles ­ one small area of nanotechnologies. It also makes recommendations about regulation to control exposure to nanoparticles.

Nanosciences and nanotechnologies: An action plan for Europe 2005-2009
Source: European Commission – Publication date: June 2005
	This report sets out a series of concrete actions to be taken by the European Commission and by EU Member States, based on the priority areas identified in the earlier Communication, 'Towards a European Strategy for Nanotechnology' COM(2004) 338 of May 2004.

Nanostructure Science and Technology
Source: U.S. National Science and Technology Council – Publication date: September 1999
	R&D Status and Trends in Nanoparticles, Nanostructured Materials, and Nanodevices. A worldwide study prepared by the National Science and Technology council.

Nanostructured Metamaterials
Source: NIMNIL – Publication date: August 2012
	Four projects have been funded by the European Commission within the seventh Framework Program with the purpose to develop appropriate fabrication and characterisation technologies for nanostructured metamaterials: NIM_NIL, NANOGOLD, MAGNONICS, and METACHEM. The lists of exploitable results of the four projects (PDF) are presented in this report.

Nanosystems Biology
Source: Molecular Imaging and Biology – Publication date: May 2003
	This paper is a combination of three tutorials with an outlined series of technologies, including microfluidics, nanotechnologies, and molecular imaging methods, and the authors describe how their development should be driven by the needs of systems biology. They also discuss how these technologies can enable a systems biology approach through a pathway from single cells to mouse models of disease and finally to patients.
