Victorian Nanotechnology Statement
The Victorian Nanotechnology Statement, the first of its kind in Australia, focuses on industry development and investment attraction as key to securing the health, economic and environmental benefits that nanotechnology can generate.
The Victorian Nanotechnology Statement provides a framework for a new strategic partnership between governments, industry and the research sector, focused around five priorities. They are:
- Responsible Development - through regulatory frameworks and industry-designed and led protocols and addressing social and ethical issues through balanced and factual information and dialogue
- Boosting Industry Uptake - through industry research clustering; product development capabilities and improving information and knowledge flow
- Forging Global Connections - through strategic alliances; boosting investment, export and brand promotion activities, and converging an international panel of experts to stimulate international business and research partnership opportunities
- Skills and Education - with a strong focus on developing vocational education and practical skills; creating strong secondary and tertiary education nanotech curriculum and engaging the community and stakeholders; and
- Building Platforms for the Future - through protecting our ability to conduct basic research; utilisation of our research infrastructure bu industry and coordinating research activity towards industry solutions.
