Contribution to co-ordinated UK Government nanotechnology policy

HSL, through HSE, have a link into the UK Government groups that co-ordinate nanotechnology research and policy. These groups include the Nanotechnology Research Co-ordination Group (NRCG) and the Nanotechnology Issues, Dialogue Group (NIDG). Members of the joint HSL/HSE nanotechnology team have also provided evidence to the Council for Science and Technology independent review of government progress in nanoscience and nanotechnologies.
