Dr Alec Reader has been appointed director of the Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NKTN). He will be supported by three theme managers – Keith Robson, James Johnstone and Martin Kemp.

Dr Reader, who moves to the NKTN from Innos, said: “The Nanotechnology KTN is an important part of the innovation process in the sector and has the potential to have a real impact on the fortunes of the UK economy.” The NKTN supersedes the Micro and Nanotechnologies (MNT) Network and will support the MNT community by informing, linking and facilitating innovation through events, focus groups, information dissemination and technology brokerage.
