ObservatoryNANO Hosts Workshop at EuroNanoForum 2011
Created by assoceditor on 28/06/2011 11:16:02

The FP7 ObservatoryNANO project held a half-day workshop earlier this month at EuroNanoForum 2011 in Budapest.



The FP7 ObservatoryNANO project, co-ordinated by the Institute of Nanotechnology, held a half-day workshop on Wednesday 1st June at the EuroNanoForum 2011 event in Budapest. The event highlighted the wide ranging analysis of the ObservatoryNANO; including the most recent results of the nanotechnology company census, an overview of how nanotechnology can help address Europe's Grand Challenges, and the impact of policy mechanisms on innovation indicators.

This information together with insights from representatives of a Finnish nanotechnology start-up company, a nanotechnology incubator based in Münster, and the UK Technology Strategy Board provided attending European policy makers with an understanding of the nanotechnology landscape in Europe and the associated issues and challenges. Dr Christos Tokimanis, Head of Unit "Nano and Converging Sciences and Technologies" within DG Research, closed the session with a speech congratulating the ObservatoryNANO on its work and highlighting the need for such in-depth analysis of the European nanotechnology sector to guide future EC strategy and funding, and boost innovation success.

For further information on any aspect of the ObservatoryNANO please visit the project website or contact the project co-ordinator, Eleanor O'Rourke.
