On the 17th of June the improvement of nanotechnological research becomes triple

European calls, national platform Nanofutures and intellectual property are the themes of the sessions organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Turin, which confirms its support to Nanoforum also this year. “The event is particularly important for the Piedmont area that is distinguished from the other Italian regions by the presence of very productive companies, institutions and research centres in the field of R&D: both fundamental and applied research are possible, with excellent examples in the nanotech sector” states Alessandro Barberis, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Turin. The improvement of research is actually the main objective of the Chamber of Commerce for this edition, so that the three sessions organized together with Ceipiemonte, want to promote the interaction between companies and internationally well-known speakers. The three sessions will deal with: the European Research programme and the strategies for nanotechnology -founding activities at European and national level during this year will be the foci of attention; the European platform Nanofutures coordinated by Italy; patents and other ways to protect the intellectual property.

The virtuous and responsible development of nanotechnologies is among Nanoforum 2010 objectives

The safety of nanotechnological products and processes will be the main topic of the conference session organized by Unione Industriale (UI) di Torino, 17 June. “Companies find themselves involved in the tumultuous development of nanotechnology, and it is necessary to assure a high level of protection for human health and environment” tells us Dott.

Unione Industriale di Torino is actually very attentive to the regulatory aspects since the appereance of REACH. The session, organized and coordinated within Nanoforum 2010, has the scope of on one hand to focus on nanotechnology problems and on the other hand to show the Italian position in the European context.
