Nanotechnology Skills and Training Survey
Institute of Nanotechnology, in an action part-financed by the EU,
has conducted a survey of skills and training needs of industry.
This questionnaire was targeted at companies involved in the research,
development, production and marketing of nanomaterials, products
enabled by nano-scale innovations and services companies in nanotechnology,
across all industry sectors.
The aim is to identify skills gaps in the emerging nanotechnology
market, identify professional development and training needs, and
inform institutions running nanotechnology masters programmes so
that they can be better focused on industry’s needs.
