The delegates were deeply impressed by achievement of Taiwan on K-12 Nanotechnology Education Program and Advanced Nanotechnology Education Program. He also gave a briefing on the Asia Nano Camp 2009 which was hosted by Taiwan. The ANC2008 and 2009 created a life changing experience for the majority of young scientists selected from 15 ANF network member economies and this summit pledged to continue this effort to inspire, support and foster young generation of nanotechnologists as they are the driving force of the region future growth. ANC2010 will be co-hosted by Singapore and Malaysia.
The coordinator of Standardization and Risk Management Working Group, Dr. Tsung-Tsan SU gave a liaison report on ANF participation in ISO/TC 229 which included a summary of recent activities including member economies activities on nano standardization and ANF liaison member activities related to ISO/TC229. The delegates agreed that the concept of NanoMark which has been well developed by Taiwan should be extended into ANF member economies. It was also suggested that new module on the ANF website will be set up for members to show database on EHS related issues. A list of active worldwide organizations working on EHS and its websites will be posted on the module.
Dr. Ramam Akkipeddi made a presentation on SERC Nanofabrication & Characterization facility. He also made a proposal that invited young researchers/scientists to do a short-time project in IMRE (Singapore). From AIST, Japan, Dr Hiro Akinaga presented an attractive career opportunity at the Nanodevice Innovation Research Center.

Both Vietnam and Iran enthusiastically proposed to host ANFoS2010 and ANF Executive Committee (ExCo) will decide the host for the next summit at his next ExCo meeting in Dec.09
