A benchmarking methodology for assessing emerging areas of science and technology in Australia has been piloted by assessing Australia's capability in nanotechnology. This project was funded under the Australian Research Council's (ARC) Learned Academies Special Projects grant scheme. Preliminary findings of the benchmarking project were presented at the Sir Mark Oliphant Conference 'Scaling down to a nano-materials world' in Melbourne on 1-4 December 2003, and the full report was published in 2004.
