In March 27, 2008 the complete set of document were discussed and agreed with the Guanajuato Authorities
The above represents one of the applications of the HTNM strategy to reach the ICS mandate that is base
on the use of the following instruments:
• Territorial Innovation Centres strategy to create and strengthen the networking with other similar
structures as a fundamental instrument to respond to the request from Developing Countries
• Portfolio of Research Projects, Training Activities and Fellowship Programmes
• Portal
• Master’s programme as a sort of umbrella programme in which the Fellowship programme can be
positioned.
In the HTNM 2008 work programme 2008 an ad hoc multiyear programme was included with the objective
of
• promoting and implementing joint research projects and training of scientists, trainers and
researchers in applied nanotechnologies,
• promoting partnerships between academia and industry to advance and implement nanotechnology
for economic development,
• supporting and promotion of cooperation between scientific and technological research centres and
industry through the establishment/upgrading of innovation centres and their linkages with
international network as well as the extensive use of ad hoc funds and financial incentives
• assessing nanotechnology and the concerned potential risks associate with their development and
use
• North-South and South-South networking to share and promote technologies/methodologies.
• promoting the conduction of surveys to assess potential regional pooling of existing resources and
capabilities, establishing regional fora and identifying research institutions, foundations, and
companies that have the interest and capacity to jointly develop new nanotech products and services;
The following table shows the activities planned to reach the 2008 output as ICS HTNM contribution to the
