Enhancing the Measurement of the Development and Impacts of Nanotechnology

该项目的目标是制定关于纳米技术发展的可靠和国际可比的指标，使其能够分析其影响，并为商业和政策制定提供更有力的证据。尽管对纳米技术的关注越来越多，但这一新兴领域的发展和商业化的确凿证据很少，而且几乎没有国际可比较的指标可以支持政策制定。该项目将在经济合作与发展组织(经合组织)关于纳米技术的工作中寻求解决这一缺乏信息的问题。这项工作汇集了经合组织和非经合组织国家的主要全球纳米技术参与者，他们通过参与经合组织纳米技术工作组(WPN)，努力改进和帮助制定关于全球纳米技术发展及其影响的可比指标、统计数据和量化分析。该项目将把定量的指标和统计工作与定性的公司案例研究结合起来，将为这一领域的政策制定和影响评估提供可靠的统计和知识基础，突出纳米技术的具体方面以及各国和应用领域在发展方面的重要差异，这一领域对全世界的有针对性和协调的政策努力至关重要。

0904518PericThe objective of the project is to develop reliable and internationally comparable metrics on nanotechnology developments, enabling analysis of its impacts and strengthening evidence for business and policy making.Despite the growing attention for nanotechnology, sound evidence of the development and commercialization of this emerging field is scarce and few internationally comparable metrics exist that can support policy making. This project will seek to address this lack of information in the context of work by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on nanotechnology. This work brings together the key global nanotechnology players, both from OECD and non-OECD countries, through their involvement in the OECD Working Party on Nanotechnology (WPN).This work strives to improve and help develop comparable indicators, statistics and quantitative analysis on global nanotechnology developments and its impacts. The project will combine quantitative work on indicators and statistics with qualitative company case studies.The project will provide a sound statistical and knowledge base for policy-making and impact assessment in this field, highlighting the specific dimensions of nanotechnology, as well important differences in developments across countries and application areas, that area essential for tailored and coordinated policy efforts world wide.
