Nanotechnology is a key technology and refers to a wide range of scientific or technological activities that study and work with phenomena or properties of the nanometer scale (around 0.1-100nm; one nanometer is one millionth of a meter) .  \nNanotechnology generates great opportunities, not only for science and research but also for industrial production and potentially in the everyday life of individuals. Even modest predictions estimate an over 30 % future average growth rate per year in nanotechnology, surpassing bio- and information technology growth. Europe holds a significant share in the growth potential which could create new jobs at different occupational levels: for researchers and scientists holding university and post-graduate degrees and also for a range of technicians and specialists with secondary, post-secondary and non-university tertiary education. However, skill gaps and skill shortages in the nanofield may occur if education and training systems do not react in time. This may significantly diminish its growth potential and employment effects.  \nThis publication provides an analytical overview and was also presented as a keynote for the international workshop, Emerging technologies: new skill needs in the field of nanotechnology, held in Stuttgart, Germany in July 2005. The workshop addressed a number of issues related to skill needs in this area. The event was organised by Cedefop’s network on early identification of skill needs Skillsnet, jointly with the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (Fraunhofer IAO), the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the Institute of Structural Policies and Economic Development (isw) .  \nThis study looks at the latest trends and developments in various fields of nanotechnology and their related skill needs.
