Dr Giuliano Tari of Ceram has been invited to take a key role in the international development of nanotechnologies, the emerging technologies that are expected to give a major boost to global competitiveness.
Nanotechnologies involve engineering matter at the atomic and molecular scale, about 10,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, and Ceram, the internationally renowned centre for materials and technology, has been at the forefront of the standard development.
As well as being a member of the BSI NTI 1 (British Standards Institution) Committee, Tari is a key UK representative on the newly formed international ISO Technical Committee for Nanotechnologies (ISO TC 229).
Giuliano explained: "Standardisation can play a crucial role in the creation of an 'order' in the context of nanotechnology".
"Ceram has experience of working with a number of industries in developing relevant applications in which nanotechnology might have a huge impact".
"Therefore, my role in the standardisation committees is to ensure that the standard is usable by those companies for releasing their 'nano' potential and fulfilling their 'nano' ambition".
"The role of the BSI NTI1 and ISO committees will be vital in helping businesses across industry sectors maximise nanotechnology by developing international standards to provide an important foundation for its safe and sustainable grown".
"By giving nanotechnologists a uniform language and process, standardisation will facilitate safer and faster product development and production and will enable interoperable end products".
Lord Sainsbury, Science and Innovation Minister, who was a guest speaker at the opening ceremony meeting said: "This is an important opportunity for the international community to come together and start the development of standards for nanotechnologies".
"They already have an impact on almost every industrial sector and there is much more to come".
Other countries represented include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.
