Comment sought on "Enabling Technologies Roadmap"
Thursday, 19 January, 2012
The Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education invites the public and key stakeholders to comment on the "Enabling Technologies Roadmap", a document prepared by the Australian Institute for Commercialisation.
The Enabling Technologies Roadmap (ETRM) is a report commissioned by the Department on the advice of the National Enabling Technologies Strategy (NETS) Expert Forum. The Expert Forum is focused particularly on new forms of nanotechnology and biotechnology (including synthetic biology), as well as areas of intersection, and those enabled by ICT and cognitive science.
The feedback on the ETRM will be considered in finalising the document. The community consultation period is open until 23 February 2012.
You can find more information and a link to the document at NETS site.
