Final report on Nanotechnology and Development News

Abstract

A free, daily electronic news service, Nanotechnology and Development News, was established to raise awareness about the implications of nanotechnology for developing countries and to contribute to informed decision-making about the appropriate role of nanotechnology in addressing human development needs.

NDN provides 2-4 succinct daily summaries of the most important global developments at the nexus of nanotechnology, poverty alleviation, and the role of science and technology in development. NDN is available online, by email, and through RSS news feed and is designed as a single, convenient source of balanced and timely information on a range of complex and interrelated science, technology, and policy issues.

This report outlines NDN's objectives, activities, and accomplishments.
