The purpose of this second Joint Workshop between the European Union and the United States was to further promote and deepen the EU-U.S. collaboration on nanosafety research. The aim was also to develop the Communities of Research (CoR) collaboration and to bring them to a new level of activity.

The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) will hold a webinar on September 20 to provide an open forum to answer questions and hear suggestions related to the National Nanotechnology Initiative’s (NNI) public website, Nano.gov. Serving as the primary mechanism for public engagement, Nano.gov was redesigned in April 2011

This report on Regional, State, and Local (RSL) Initiatives in Nanotechnology is the result of a topical workshop convened 1–2 May 2012 in Portland, Oregon, sponsored by the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council, and by the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute.

Federal Agencies participating in the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) are hosting a webinar to announce the release of the 2011 NNI Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Research Strategy and to the discuss the development of this document and its key focus areas.

The US and EU jointly held a workshop to engage in an active discussion about environmental, health, and safety questions for nano-enabled products, encourage joint programs of work that would leverage resources, and establish communities of practice, including identification of key points of contact /interest groups/themes between key US and EU researchers & key US and EU funding sources.

This document is the report of a workshop held July 13–14, 2010. The goal of this workshop was to obtain input from stakeholders—both those new to nanoscale science, engineering, and technology and those already familiar with these fields and with the NNI—regarding the goals and objectives of an updated NNI Strategic Plan that was under development at the time of the workshop. This report was designed, assembled, and edited by NNCO staff. This report is not a consensus document, but rather is intended to reflect the diverse views, expertise, and deliberations of the workshop participants.
