Long description

We are at the present time undertaking the 3-year research project starting Aug 31, 2001, "Development of Information System for Activating R&D of nano Technology" , which is supported by the Korea Research Council of Public Science & Technology.

The construction of NanoNet is being done as part of national infrastructure establishment for supporting nanotechnology R&D activities. NanoNet's main URL is www.nanonet.info but you can also have access to the same contents at www.nanobank.info and www.nanoinfo.or.kr.

Since the announcement of the National Nanotechnology Initiative by the Clinton administration in the United States, major developed countries have been intensifying nanotech research activities on a national basis in order to take the leadership in the nanotech development area.

In Korea, the National Science and Technology Council has also established the "Nanotech Development Plan" in July, 2001 and prepared a 10-year implementation program for nanotechnology R&D and industrialization for Korea to advance into the best five countries in nanotech area by 2010.

In order to meet this goal and contribute effectively to the Korea National Nanotech Initiative, the Center for Nanotech Information (CNI) was created in January 2002 under the wings of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI).
