Welcome to ObservatoryNANO

The observatoryNANO project is funded under FP7 for four years from April 1st 2008 and includes 16 partners from 10 European States. Its primary aim is to support European decision-makers with information and analysis on developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N). It will collate and analyse data regarding scientific and technological (ST) trends (including peer-reviewed publications, patents, roadmaps, and published company data) and economic realities and expectations (including market analysis and economic performance, public and private funding strategies). The ST and economic analysis will be further supported by assessment of ethical and societal aspects, impacts on environment, health and safety, as well as developments in regulation and standardisation. Although much of this work will be performed within the consortium, the project is working cooperatively with other initiatives to ensure that effort is not duplicated and that resource sharing and output are maximised. To date liaisons have been established with international organisations including the EPO, OECD, and ISO, and will continue to be established with other relevant organisations such as European Technology Platforms (ETPs), ERA NETs, and other EU-funded projects.
