Where do we stand
in Europe?





Enjoys a strong position in terms of producing
knowledge in nanotechnology (e.g. publications)
Weaker in transforming this knowledge into
products and services (e.g. patents, start-ups)
Europe already has a commercial deficit for hightech products of around €23 billion per year
Few “centres of excellence” on the scale of those
being developed in other regions e.g. the USA
Lower level of private R&D funding from industry in
comparison to e.g. the USA and Japan

Is there a European Strategy
for Nanotechnology?

R&D: Building the
Momentum





European public investment in nanotechnology
R&D should increase by a factor of 3 by 2010
Focus upon transforming our knowledge into
wealth generating products and processes
Reinforce the next FP for added-value via critical
mass, transnational collaboration and competition
Effective coordination of national programmes with
both OMC and ERA-NET mechanisms
Bring public and private stakeholders together to
strengthen roadmap and foresighting activities
Bucharest, 17.01.2005 NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND NANO-SCIENCES, KNOWLEDGE-BASED MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
AND NEW PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND DEVICES
Infrastructure: European
“Poles of Excellence”





Europe needs a coherent system of infrastructure
for R&D in nanotechnology
Measures needed to maximise the added-value of
existing infrastructure, in particular, to help SMEs
Existing infrastructure should be examined and
mapped to identify most urgent needs
Where needed, dedicated Europe nanotechnology
infrastructure with critical mass should be built
All financing mechanisms should be explored e.g.
European Investment Bank, Structural Funds, etc
Bucharest, 17.01.2005 NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND NANO-SCIENCES, KNOWLEDGE-BASED MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
AND NEW PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND DEVICES
Investing in Human
Resources





Identify the educational needs of nanotechnology
and provide examples of best practice
Encourage the definition and implementation of
new courses and curricula for nanotechnology
Promote the integration of complementary skills
into research training e.g. entrepreneurship
Explore the possibility of dedicated Marie Curie
calls for proposals in nanotechnology
Create a “European award in nanotechnology” to
encourage young researchers

Industrial Innovation:
Knowledge to Technology






Promote conditions that encourage investment in
nanotechnology R&D by industry
Investigate the prospects and conditions for the
optimal industrial exploitation of nanotechnologies
Invites the European Investment Bank and other
institutions to strengthen the capital base for R&D
Encourages closer cooperation between patent
offices towards a more efficient patenting system

Integrating the Societal
Dimension





Due attention should be paid to the integrating
societal aspects into nanotechnology R&D
Europe should pursue an open and proactive
approach to governance in nanotechnology R&D
A dialogue with EU citizens and consumers should
be encouraged to promote informed judgement
The Commission reaffirms its commitment to
ethical principles
The responsible and transparent development of
nanotechnology is essential for public confidence
Bucharest, 17.01.2005 NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND NANO-SCIENCES, KNOWLEDGE-BASED MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
AND NEW PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND DEVICES
Public Health, Safety,
Environmental and Consumer
Protection

A high level of public health, safety, environmental
and consumer protection requires:
 Identification of safety concerns (both real and
perceived) and action at the earliest stage
 Toxicological and ecotoxicological data and
evaluation of human/environmental exposure
 Adjustment, if necessary, of risk assessment
procedures for issues of nanotechnology
 Integration of risk assessment at all stages of
the life cycle of the technology
Bucharest, 17.01.2005 NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND NANO-SCIENCES, KNOWLEDGE-BASED MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
AND NEW PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND DEVICES
A Further Step: International
Cooperation




Encourage international debate on issues such as
public health, safety, environment, consumer
protection, risk assessment, metrology, norms
Provide access to knowledge to economically less
developed countries to contribute towards the
prevention of any “knowledge apartheid”
Promote the monitoring and sharing of information
related to the scientific, technological, economical
and social development of nanotechnology
Define an international “code of good conduct” for
the responsible development of nanotechnology
