As part of the OECD activities to promote international co-operation in addressing human health and environmental safety aspects of manufactured nanomaterials, the OECD has developed a global resource which details research projects that address safety issues of manufactured nanomaterials. This database holds details of completed, current and planned research projects on safety, which are to be updated and managed electronically by delegations to the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials. It builds on the work of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Results of the Forum on Space Economics' Third Steering Group Meeting, 25-26 Sept. 2008
06-nov.-2008
The third meeting of the Space Forum's Steering Group was held in Paris on 25-26 Sept. 2008. After taking stock of the major outputs resulting from the Forum three years' existence (2006-2008), the members stated their continuing strategic interest. The Forum should therefore continue its activities in 2009 for a one-year transition period. It could then potentially evolve into an upgraded institutional format, subject to political support in supporting Member States and agencies.

Workshop on the safety testing of manufactured nanomaterials, Korea
04-nov.-2008
This workshop is being held to move forward the "Sponsorship Programme" which was launched in 2007. This programme involves the safety testing of 14 nanomaterials for a set of endpoints related to human health and environmental safety. Amongst other things, the Workshop will assist those who will be organising the testing (OECD member countries together with the European Commission, China and Industry) to develop and co-ordinate their testing plans. This workshop is hosted by the Ministry of Environment in Korea and will take place on November 19-21 in Busan, Korea.

Le rythme et l’ampleur sans précédent du processus de mondialisation actuel
ont suscité un vif intérêt au cours des dernières années. La mondialisation a des
conséquences particulièrement marquées sur l’innovation. La collaboration s’étend
à l’échelle internationale au fur et à mesure qu’un nombre croissant de pays se
dotent de capacités importantes en matière de recherche et d’innovation. Si les
États-Unis, l’Union européenne et le Japon ont jusqu’à présent dominé le secteur de l’innovation, de nouveaux pays comme la Chine et l’Inde s’efforcent désormais de se hisser à leur niveau.
