纳米技术创新治理现代化的愿景是安全创新方法（SIA）。SIA结合了两个概念：设计安全（SbD）和监管准备（RP）。SbD旨在激励行业在创新过程的早期及以后将安全考虑因素纳入其中。RP渴望提高监管机构的预测能力，并制定能够跟上创新步伐的立法。纳米技术的速度、范围和复杂性对治理，特别是法律和监管提出了新的挑战。纳米技术的一个可能的选择是走向一个更基于目标的治理系统，包括预期的监管。预期性监管和实验可被视为一种强调灵活性、协作和创新的敏捷方法。SIA可以被视为支持敏捷监管实践的实验的一部分。需要一个值得信赖的环境，激励创新者、监管者和其他利益相关者相互理解？的关注，并共同开发解决方案，以预测和解决安全问题，同时促进安全，可持续和社会有益的创新的发展。促进可信环境的信任驱动因素包括关注公共利益、能力、尊重、诚信、包容、公平和公开。在这里，我们探讨的概念，建立可信的环境中的SIA的纳米技术。
A vision for modernization of nanotechnology innovation governance is a Safe Innovation Approach (SIA). SIA combines two concepts: Safe-by-Design (SbD) and Regulatory Preparedness (RP). SbD aims to motivate industry to integrate safety considerations early in the innovation process and onwards. RP aspires to improve the anticipation capabilities of regulators and develop legislation that can keep pace with innovations. The pace, scope and complexity of nanotechnology present novel challenges for governance, especially law and regulation. A possible option forward for nanotechnology is to move towards a more goal-based governance system including anticipatory regulation. Anticipatory regulation and experimentation can be considered as an agile approach with emphasis on flexibility, collaboration and innovation. SIA can be seen as part of experimentation in support of agile regulatory practices. A trusted environment is needed in which innovators, regulators and other stakeholders are motivated to understand each other?s concerns and together develop solutions to anticipate and address safety whilst also facilitating the development of safe, sustainable and socially beneficial innovations. Trust drivers to facilitate trusted environments include focusing on the public interest, competence, respect, integrity, inclusion, fairness and openness. Here, we explore the concept of building trusted environments in the context of the SIA for nanotechnologies.
