March 29, 2007 | Social Science Research Institute, Duke University, Durham, NC This two-day workshop will focus on the emergence of the global knowledge economy, which is already affecting the economies of both developed nations like the U.S. and developing technology hubs like China and India. A major focus of this conference will be nanotechnology, an industry that is already global in scope and highly competitive in nature. Presentations and panels will focus on the development of the industry in key international locations, as well as on other important knowledge economy topics, including the talent pool for scientists and engineers, multinationals and offshoring, and the entry of new countries and regions into the knowledge economy. This meeting will involve selected international scholars and industry representatives, North Carolina nanotechnology firms and regional policymakers. |
