The Australian Academy of Science announced their new strategy for nanotechnology development:
Amongst the strategy document’s recommendations is the provision of a clearly-defined career pathway for researchers working in nanotechnology if Australia to have a concentration of expertise working on areas such as health, medicine, agriculture, food and the environment.
It also recommends further research into understanding the material/biological interface and the impact of nanoparticles on cell life in order to produce safer and more effective nanomedicines and nanodevices.
This comes on the heel of recent discussions in India about the role of nanotechnology in their economy and the growth of nanotechnology in China.
