NanoSciences and the long term evolution of Information Technology (NSIT)

The emergence of nanotechnologies together with the maturity of other technologies (silicon for instance) will make possible new and potentially disruptive functionalities in the domain of data handling, storage and communication.

These will encourage the emergence of new products, which could have a major impact on our lives. The aims of this forward look e three fold:

1) Identify the possible impact of present-day research and forecast the important research topics of the next 10 years.

2) Discuss the impact of these developments

3) Discuss policy issues
