International cooperation in nanotechnology is crucial due to several reasons:
Resource Sharing: Advanced nanomaterials and research facilities are often costly and complex. Collaborative efforts allow sharing of resources, reducing individual costs and enhancing research quality. Standardization: Harmonizing standards and regulations ensures consistency in the development and application of nanotechnologies, facilitating global trade and innovation. Risk Management: Nanotechnology can pose unforeseen risks to health and the environment. Joint efforts in risk assessment and management are essential for safe development and deployment. Educational Exchange: Cross-border educational programs and research exchanges foster a generation of scientists with a global perspective on nanotechnology.
