Indische Konferenz zu Nanotechnologie und der Regulierungsthmatik
Nanotechnologie entwickelt sich rasch in Indien. Die Regierung hat eine eigene "Nano Mission" in Leben gerufen, um den Weg für R&D-Finanzierung von öffentlicher Forschung zu ebnen und die Entwicklung von Personalressourcen sowie insitutionellen Mitteln zu fördern.
Der Zweck der Konferenz liegt darin, Politiker, Nanowissenschaftler, Juristen und Akademiker zusammenzubringen und eine Debatte über eine Vielzahl an Fragestellungen im Bereich der Regulierung der Nanotechnologie in Indien zu lancieren. Artikel auf Englisch.
Already there are several products in the market which use nanomaterials like the Samsung washing machines using silver nano particles and use of nano-tex the stain resistant for making stain resistant fabrics by the Arvind Mills in India. There is also the possibility of several products in the market that use nanmaterials or nanoparticles without quouting them within their product ingriedient section.
Several private sector players especially in the health and pharmaceuticals and the textiles sectors have made considerable investment in developing novel product lines by integrating naomaterials and in enabling the miniatiarising of current devices.
The goal of the conference is as follows:
- Benchmark the international regulatory developments in this field and analyze their implications for India.
- Analyse the current regulatory structure and provide a gap analysis
- Draw lessons from the risk (EHS) regulation paradigms in operation vis-a-vis emerging technologies like biotechnology and discuss their application with reference to nanotechnology
- Address cross cutting isues like the patents regime, role of courts and other governance agencies and ethical issues underlying the regulatory options
In this context the National Conference on Nanotechnology and Regulatory Issues is being co-organized by TERI and the Department of Law, Calcutta University between the 9-10 January 2009 at the Centre for NanoScience and Nanotechnology, Saltlake City, Kolkata.
