UNITAR/OECD/IOMC Awareness-Raising Workshop for Developing and Transition Countries on Nanotechnology/Manufactured Nanomaterials

18-Aug-2010

OECD and UNITAR held Awareness-Raising Workshops on Nanotechnology/ Manufactured Nanomaterials for Developing and Transition Countries. These workshops were organised in conjunction with SAICM UN regional meetings during 2009-2010, under the auspices of the IOMC following a request for action regarding nanotechnologies and nanomaterials. The workshops informed on potential applications and risks from nanotechnologies and manufactured nanomaterials as well as looked for opportunities for awareness raising activities to be undertaken in those countries.
