Nanotec IT (the Italian Centre for Nanotechnology) is an autonomous branch of AIRI (Italian Association for Industrial Research) whose primary objective is to become the national focal point for nanotechnology and contribute to make more effective the activities going on in the Country in this field so that these efforts could translate into a competitive advantage for the national industry.

This section of the CORDIS website provides a list of nanotechnology projects funded by the EU with links to news articles, success stories and project descriptions.

The website continuously strives to provide timely and accurate information related to "Science and Society in FP6".

This web service provides an overview of nanotechnology related activities at the European Commission.

Euro NanoTech News is a free e-mail newsletter dedicated to nanotechnologies in Europe.

The Nano Jury brings together twenty randomly-chosen people from different backgrounds who will hear evidence about a wide range of possible futures, and the role that nanotechnologies might play in them. Over five weeks, the jurors will hear from a variety of witnesses with widely varying perspectives, which they will draw on in coming up with a set of recommendations. These will inform how debates as to how this emerging and potentially revolutionary technology should develop. It is sponsored by the IRC in Nanotechnology at the University of Cambridge, Greenpeace UK, the Guardian and the Policy, Ethics and Life Sciences Research Centre at the University of Newcastle.

Nanologue’s overarching objective is to facilitate a dialogue among researchers, business and civil society about the benefits and potential impacts of nanoscience and nanotechnology applications. Nanologue will bring together current leading research on the social, ethical and legal implications of nanotechnology, facilitate dialogue and produce guidance for stakeholders, developers of nanotechnology in particular, on how to address the issues uncovered to the wider benefit of both society and the economy. This 6th Framework Programme project is led by Wuppertal Institute in Germany and features consortium partners EMPA (the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research) in Switzerland, Forum for the Future in the UK and triple innova of Germany.

NanoNed, the Nanotechnology network in the Netherlands, is an initiative of eight knowledge institutes and Philips. It clusters the nanotechnology and enabling technology’ strengths of the Dutch industrial and scientific nanotechnology knowledge infrastructure in a national network and enables a knowledge leap through strong research projects, an infrastructure investment program and economically relevant dissemination of the knowledge and expertise, resulting in high added value economic growth. The total budget for this NanoNed program amounts to 235 M€

Nanoforum is a pan-European nanotechnology network funded by the European Union under the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5) to provide information on European nanotechnology efforts and support to the European nanotechnology community.
