Introduction

With its two Communications on nanotechnology, a Strategy and an Action Plan, the
European Commission has presented the vision and a set of actions for the useful,
safe, responsible and profitable development and application of nanosciences and
nanotechnologies in Europe. The Council of the European Union has endorsed the
integrated and responsible strategy proposed by the Commission.
In our day-to-day work, we have collected and we are steadily continuing to collect
data on the many indicators associated with nanotechnology research, technological
development and their applications. Many stakeholders have repeatedly asked us to
share some of these data; hence the publication of theses pages, as a service to all
those interested.
Europe is one of the leading actors in nanosciences and nanotechnologies both in
research as well as in technological development, thanks to the creativity of European
researchers, the initiatives of industry, academia and research organisations, to the
quality of the infrastructures and the commitment of public authorities.
Nevertheless, some worrying signals emerge, which call for appropriate initiatives, as
the European Commission pointed out in its Action Plan. For instance, Figure 10
documents the apparently low level of private funding for research on
nanotechnology, which is more broadly addressed by the European Commission with
its 3% initiative.
Moreover, Figures 22 and 23 present some possible scenarios for funding under the
EU 7th framework programme for research and technological development. These
simulated scenarios suggest concentrating future available resources to maximise
efficiency and effectiveness.
The present figures are based on the information to which we had access; they should
not be deemed to be complete and in no way do they engage the European
Commission. I thank my colleague Dr. Raymond Monk for the energy and attention
that he put in this compilation.
We hope that you find this to be a useful initiative and would welcome all comments
and suggestions on the figures presented, so to be able to realise a more
comprehensive documents in the future.
