The Workshop: Identifying & prioritizing needs in Asia
Pacific Regions.
Technical workshop Outcome:
• to establish a strong
networking/communication for the
continuity in collaboration with the
nano safety working group (under the
umbrella of Asia Nano Forum);
• to raise the awareness by organizing
training workshops;
• to develop the standardization /
harmonization mark in the region;
• to encourage the strong commitment
from the administration.
Thailand has proposed to organize the follow up Asia Pacific regional
workshop at the International Conference “NanoThailand 2016” in November
2016.

TTN & NANO Plus+ Centers
“Creating a knowledge sharing society for
nanotechnology development, nanoproduct, and
nanosafety”
Objective:
To support and encourage nanotechnological development through
research innovations and technology transfer with strategic partners in the
academia and private sector.
Phase One: The Multiplier Effect
- completed setting up 4 TTN groups
representing 4 regions of the country (North,
Northeast, Central, and South). A 93 member
team from 70 institutions resulting in 1,483
training activities, 26,758 exhibitions organized,
and over 150,000 participants.
Phase 2 (NANO Plus+ Center)
Established 4 NANO Plus+ Centers in 4
regional regions. NANOTEC’s role is the
facilitator, the advisor, and the mentor as
required by the center.
