Do nano-boom à paralisação: a trajetória da política brasileira de nanotecnologia

Brazil formulated a policy to spur the emergent field of nanotechnology at the beginning of 2000 decade, in synchrony with industrialized countries. The area was declared strategic in the country´s science, technology and innovation policy since 2004, and considered a motor to increase competitivene...

description Brazil formulated a policy to spur the emergent field of nanotechnology at the beginning of 2000 decade, in synchrony with industrialized countries. The area was declared strategic in the country´s science, technology and innovation policy since 2004, and considered a motor to increase competitiveness. In this article we assess the trajectory of nanotechnology policy throughout 15 years, since the initial euphoria to current virtual shutdown due to funding cuts. We analyze how the policy agenda was constructed, highlighting international influences and the prominent role played by nanotechnology scientists.
