What are the Core Elements of Nanotechnology Policy?
Nanotechnology policy typically includes several key elements:
Regulatory Frameworks: Establishing standards and guidelines for the safe use, production, and disposal of nanomaterials. Risk Assessment and Management: Developing methodologies for evaluating the potential risks associated with nanotechnology. Research and Development Support: Funding and promoting R&D to advance nanotechnology and address any emerging issues. Public Engagement and Education: Informing and involving the public in discussions about the benefits and risks of nanotechnology. International Collaboration: Working with international partners to harmonize regulations and share best practices.
