"Nanotechnology & Nanobiotechnology" are not vague terms. They comprise a new aspect of technology which already affects the production procedures, transport & communication, education, research, energy production, health and quality of life. In Greece there are several important research and business activities in the field of Nanotechnology.
NANONET is an initiative for the promotion of communication and collaboration between research and business organizations activated in the fields of Nano-bio-technologies. Its' main purpose is to reinforce and promote Nanotechnologies in Greece, the Balcan area, Europe and the rest of the world, through an interscientific approach.
Today 200 Organisations (University- Labs, Research Centres and Companies) participate in NANONET from Greece, Balkans, Europe and USA. Among them there are 124 Οrganizations from Greece, 64 from Εurope and 12 from USA & 27 Companies.

However, no network will be viable or effective unless it adopts a wide perspective and progressive policy. NANONET should not be confined within the academic & business world of "Nanotechnology & Nanobiotechnology" alone. Providing research opportunities and new scientific workforce is only one part of the story.
"Nanotechnology & Nanobiotechnology" are beginning to integrate into everyday life, affecting and creating demands on behalf of society. NANONET should become versatile and approachable by aiming at the dissemination of knowledge to non-experts as well.
