Assessing the Economic Value of Nanotechnology. Paris, France

1144023确定公共和私人投资对开发新兴技术（如纳米技术）的影响的衡量标准是拟议的专题讨论会/讲习班的主要“知识”目标。这是一个重要的目标，它超越了纳米技术，延伸到其他新兴技术。 此外，该研讨会/讲习班还为总统科学技术顾问理事会（PCAST）提供经济信息。学术价值：本项目旨在通过研讨会/讲习班的形式，阐明国家对新科学技术研究的投资的长期投资回报（ROI）。 该项目包括两个部分：一个关于纳米技术经济价值的专题讨论会，然后是一个圆桌会议，旨在确定各国政府在这一领域的具体需求范围，并确定满足这些需求的合作工作。第一部分将收集有关评估纳米技术经济影响的适当指标的信息和专家意见，这将是评估NNI经济影响的第一步。组织者打算让利益相关者参与探讨国家创新举措及其基本法律，战略，劳动力问题等所涉及的问题， 首先，在为期一天的研讨会上讨论纳米技术的经济价值，然后在为期一天的圆桌研讨会上讨论利益相关者如何共同努力满足第一天确定的需求。更广泛的影响：这次研讨会/研讨会的结果将对美国政府，特别是那些参与规划未来支持NNI项目的机构有价值。此外，研讨会/讲习班将有助于各国政府之间的合作，以增加纳米技术研究的经济影响。

1144023 Identifying metrics of impact of public and private investment in developing an emerging technology such as nanotechnology is the primary "intellectual" objective of the proposed symposium/workshop. It is an important objective, which extends beyond nanotechnology to other emerging technologies. In addition, this symposium/workshop serves to provide economic information to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).Intellectual merit:This project aims to elucidate long term return on investment (ROI) from national investments in new science and technology research through a symposium/workshop vehicle. The project involves two parts: a Symposium on the Economic Value of Nanotechnology, followed by a Round Table that aims to scope the specific needs of governments in this field and to identify collaborative work to meet those needs. The first part will gather information and expert opinion on the appropriate metrics for evaluating the economic impact of nanotechnology generally, which would be a first step towards evaluating the economic impact of the NNI specifically.The organizers intend to engage stakeholders to explore the issues involved in national innovation initiatives and their underlying laws, strategies, workforce issues, etc., first, in a single-day symposium on the economic value of nanotechnology and then in a single-day roundtable workshop on how stakeholders can work together to fulfill needs identified on the first day.Broader impacts:The results of this symposium/workshop would be of value to the US Government, particularly those agencies involved in planning future support for NNI projects. In addition, the symposium/workshop will help collaborations among governments to increase the economic impact of research in nanotechnology.
