| 2012-2326 | National Science and Technology Council | Notice | The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on behalf of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), will hold an "International Symposium on Assessing the Economic Impact of Nanotechnology" on March 27-28, 2012. This symposium will bring together key policy makers, academics, industry representatives, and other interested stakeholders to examine the current status of nanotechnology in the marketplace and discuss metrics that might accurately portray the economic benefit of nanotechnology to individual country economies and the global economy. The proposed symposium, hosted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and jointly organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), aims to explore a wide range of issues that underpin the dynamism of national innovation initiatives and, in particular, how improved estimates of return on investment in nanotechnology may shape future funding opportunities and national policy development. Dates and Addresses: The symposium will be held at AAAS, 1200 New York Avenue, Washington, DC 20005 on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. and on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. For directions, please visit www.aaas.org.
