Asia/Pacific Region Nano & Society Assessment

www.asia-nano.org

Prepared by Lerwen Liu

AP Region Nano & Society Assessment • Strong government policy support in most economies • Strong awareness of the need of education and training courses are operating in most economies • Education Program in AP region is mostly bottom up, whereas Top Down Programs in Korea and Taiwan. • Strong awareness and expectation of the benefits of Nanotech in field of energy, healthcare, environment, agriculture and etc. • Some economies such as Japan and Korea have seen the emerging industrial impact of nanotech • The awareness of Risk in Nanotech is relatively weak compared that in EU and USA (except Taiwan) • Standardization of Nanotech application in some areas is emerging (Taiwan, Japan, China). www.asia-nano.org

Opportunities for Collaboration with ANF Network • Abundant & Motivated Human Resources (half of the world`s population) • Strong Science and Technology Minded • Attractive Geographical Locations and Exotic Cultures (warm climate, beaches, great food, warm people etc) • Advanced Basic Research (Japan, China) • Advanced in Technology Infrastructure (Japan, Korea, Taiwan) • Efficient Business Environment (Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan) • Strong Government Initiatives and Industry participation (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong)

Important Issues to address in the 3rd S & T Basic Plan (FY2006-2010) • The Reforming Japan: Privatizing National Labs (FY2001 & FY2006) and University (FY2004) • Ensure Diversified and High Quality S&T HR Fostering • HR Training, Basic Research and University Social Role • Promote Interdisciplinary and Social Science • Establish Japan Innovation System as Front Runner • S & T for Safety and Security • S & T and Society • S & T International Strategy • Continue Investment to Nanotechnology / Materials as one of Priority Areas www.asia-nano.org

Summary • All the 13 economies of the ANF network have initiated Nanotech Initiative, some are very well planned and established, some are making active progress in coordinated and detailed plan. • Under the umbrella of the ANF network Joint Workshops and Meetings were held for the past one year among the 13 economies, promoting mutual understanding, research collaboration and HR exchange. • All economies address the importance of innovative HR development in Nanotech and have set up programs for implementation. • ANF Network Economies Are Keen on International Collaboration.
