  1. Evaluating Collaborative Innovation Networks in Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is regarded as the key technology for the 21st century, affecting almost every aspect of the economy. It involves several areas of knowledge, and for consequence the innovation networks has a key role in its development. Innovation networks and specially in the public sector are considered as critical policy instruments to promote the creation and fortification of robust innovation systems, like platforms of learning for the actors. Therefore and considering the relevance of these networks, there is a necessity of evaluating their development in order to know its innovation potential and performance, but unfortunately the literature about frameworks for assessing these networks is scarce, especially in nanotechnology. In this sense, the main objective of this work is to present the proposal of a framework for evaluating nanotechnology innovation networks. The focus of this framework is related to the evaluation of public innovation networks. The framework was validated in three segments of the Brazilian nano-technology network. An empirical research, associated to three assumptions, was developed in order to support the proposal. This research was both qualitative as quantitative and it was used research instrumentslike an interview face to face with key actors and a survey Fig. 1.
