Minutes of the First European NanoBusiness Association Workshop on Standardization for Carbon Nanotubes are now available online. Jointly organized by the European NanoBusiness Association (ENA) and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), the purpose of the first workshop was to determine whether a lack of standards is inhibiting market growth for carbon nanotubes and to identify standardization needs for market development. The minutes can be found at http://www.nanoeurope.org/files/NANO_CNT_meeting_20041028_minutes.pdf The next meeting will be held on 28th April 2005 in Vienna and is open to all stakeholders engaged in the production, utilization or measurement of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers.
