NIA Masterclass & Workshop: MICROMEGA – REACH for Nanomaterials
In the advent of the launch of EC regulation on Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) on the 1st June 2007, the NIA held a Masterclass & Workshop, in order to shed light onto the past discussion around nanomaterials as part of the REACH Regulation, to clarify their current status within the legislation that was passed by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers on the 18th December 2006, and to subsequently investigate necessary management strategies in the nanotechnology industries.

NIA Forecast of Emerging Technologies
The support of an ongoing advancement of nanotechnology research, development and commercialisation is central to the NIA’s role as a key-contact point between regulators and policy makers on one hand and the growing nanotechnology industries on the other; through identifying and forecasting unique areas of potential competitive advantage using nanotechnology, the NIA helps to secure the full economic and societal benefits of this exiting field of emerging technologies.
The NIA Forecast of Emerging Technologies provides a purely industry-led forecast, which makes exclusive use of data obtained from the industrial members of the NIA, thereby delivering a clear outline of the industrial development path for nanotechnology and its advancement over the next 15 years into more complex nanomaterials, structures and systems. The forecast examines the existing opinion of the economic potential for nanotechnologies and provides a 2020-view of the emerging technologies’ impact.

Unblocking Roadmapping Congestion
by Dr Alan Smith (for the NIA)
Hardly a month goes by without another materials technology roadmap being issued, but few materials scientists are even aware that they exist, despite them being freely available.
In a report entitled 'Roadmapping Congestion?', Dr Alan Smith clears a path through the complex maze of nanotechnology roadmaps.
