NSET head takes an international view of NT development

from the World-Watch dept.
A paper presented by M.C. Roco at the symposium on Global Nanotechnology Networking, at the International Union of Materials Meeting, 28 August 2001, gives a high-level view for the potential for international cooperation and coordination of nanotechnology research and development efforts. The paper, "International Strategy for Nanotechnology Research and Development", which previously appeared in the Journal of Nanoparticle Research, is available as a MS Word (.doc) file (about 110 Kb). Roco is Senior Advisor for Nanotechnology at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Chair of the U.S. National Science and Technology Council's subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology (NSET), the coordinating body of the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative.
