Report Title:	New Dimensions for Manufacturing: A UK Strategy for Nanotechnology
Report ID:	178
Date:	6/1/2002
Author:	UK Advisory Group on Nanotechnology Applications
Report Type:	Government Report

Country:	United Kingdom
Organization:	UK Advisory Group on Nanotechnology Applications
Summary:	This 2002 report, completed by the UK Advisory Group on Nanotechnology Applications, analyzes the current state of nanotechnology research in the UK and identifies a strategy for ensuring the UKs competitiveness in the field. Key obstacles to that competitiveness listed in this report include the lack of a coordinated nanotechnology strategy, fragmentation of research and development, and lack of public support. The report suggests the development a coherent and coordinated strategy which includes the establishment of publicly-funded nanofabrication facilities comparable to those of other countries. Proposed are two National Nanotechnology Fabrication Centres (NNFCs) which should be specialized in an area of nanotechnology and capable of prototyping and fabrication of educational and commercial nanoproducts. The Advisory Group has developed a business plan for these NNFCs and suggests that funding for their construction begin by 2003.
