A workshop was held in Rio this September to envisage and plan a Pan-American Nanotechnology Network (PNN), as part of the larger GNN.
Co-organized by Dr. Jesus Gonzalez, CIMAV, Mexico and Prof. R.P.H Chang, Northwestern University, US, the event was attended by some 100 people representing academic, industrial, and governmental organizations from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Mexico, United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela and two countries outside the region - China and France.
The 1-day workshop program consisted of a series of overview talks introducing nanotechnology-related initiatives, programs and activities in the region and an afternoon working session designed to plan important aspects of the PNN such as operations, focus areas, and membership.
Attendees expressed enthusiasm for the PNN concept and four working groups issued a series of recommendations. A workshop report is forthcoming.
