4 Program (cont.) 1) UNITAR regional workshops review (African, and Latin American and Caribbean region) 2) SAICM ICCM4 proposed resolution by Prof. Georg Karlaganis UNITAR Case study I: Thailand Nanotechnology Roadmap and Nanosafety Strategic Plan by Dr. Angkarn Wongdeethai (STI) Case study II: Nanotech roadmap in Japan by Prof. Gaku Ichihara, Tokyo University of Science Case studies III: Nanotech roadmap in Iran, including Nanosafety network and nano standardization by Prof. Ali Beitollahi, Director of Nanostandardization Committee, INIC Country Presentations from Vietnam, Indonesia, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Cook Island The Workshop: Identifying & prioritizing needs in Asia Pacific Regions.

5 Technical workshop Outcome: to establish a strong networking/communication for the continuity in collaboration with the nano safety working group (under the umbrella of Asia Nano Forum); to raise the awareness by organizing training workshops; to develop the standardization / harmonization mark in the region; to encourage the strong commitment from the administration. Thailand has proposed to organize the follow up Asia Pacific regional workshop at the International Conference NanoThailand 2016 in November 2016.

11 Phase 2 (NANO Plus+ Center) Established 4 NANO Plus+ Centers in 4 regional regions. NANOTEC s role is the facilitator, the advisor, and the mentor as required by the center. TTN & NANO Plus+ Centers Creating a knowledge sharing society for nanotechnology development, nanoproduct, and nanosafety Objective: To support and encourage nanotechnological development through research innovations and technology transfer with strategic partners in the academia and private sector. Phase One: The Multiplier Effect - completed setting up 4 TTN groups representing 4 regions of the country (North, Northeast, Central, and South). A 93 member team from 70 institutions resulting in 1,483 training activities, 26,758 exhibitions organized, and over 150,000 participants.

13 National Nanosafety & Ethics Strategic Plan Framework Development Knowledge Management Production Vision: Health Public Participation Safe Nano Propels Thailand Sustainably Establishment & Encouragement of Regulation & Standard Environment Marketing Security

14 Vision Safe Nano, Thailand towards Sustainable Development Objective To create nanotechnology and nanomaterials R & D, production, distribution and usage which are ethical, sustainable and done with related parties involvement for health and environmental safety and national security. 3 Key Performance Indicators Thailand has an effective management system of nanotechnology safety and ethics, with related sectors operating within 5 years. Nanoproducts in Thailand s market have labels demonstrating nanomaterials names and safety information based on scientific evidence. The public has knowledge, understanding, and awareness of nanotechnology safety and risk and are able to select, store, and eliminate nanoproducts by themselves. 3 Strategies Conduct and manage the information network Conduct and manage the information network Develop and strengthen measures as well as mechanisms of Develop and strengthen measures as well as mechanisms of monitoring and enforcement Strengthen and promote public Strengthen and promote public engagement 5 Measures Engineering Enforcement Economics Education Empowerment
