NANOTEC and National Science Technology Innovation Policy Office (STI) organized a half day seminar on “Public Engagement and Awareness of the National Nanotechnology Policy Framework 2012-2021” at the Mandarin Hotel in Bangkok on November 15. The aim of the seminar is to promote public awareness to the importance and benefit of the framework to local R&D activities.
“Policy framework is important to countries no matter the size and economic advancement especially when it relates to science and technology” said Dr. Pichet Durongkaveroj, Secretary-General STI. “The National Nanotechnology Policy Framework is a significant step to helping guide and direct Thailand’s nanotechnology development over a period of 10 years. It is important that we identify and develop technologies that are considered national importance”.
Both the National Nanotechnology Policy Framework (2012-2021) and the Nanosafety and Ethics Strategic Plan (2012-2016) was approved by the cabinet in September 2012. The Ministry of Science and Technology, and relevant agencies are entrusted with the implementation of the Policy Framework.
